Does a UK Limited Company need to be represented in any action by a lawyer or can the directors do it?
Anybody can represent anybody in any type of law, hence why people try and represent themselves......lawyers are trained to represent though thats why we're best.

If by "action" you're simply referring to incorporating the company and routine filings required for an limited liability company then NO, you do not need a lawyer.
As a limited company you'll appoint a company secretary who can be one of the directors. That person is responsible for filing the required documents with Companies House.
If you're not familiar with setting up you might need some assistance with the Articles of Association, setting up shares and drafting a Shareholders Agreement but unless the structure and relationship between the directors is very complex it's likely a standard "off the shelf" template with adjustments to suit your own companies circumstances will suffice.
You could also ask your accountant - limited companies are often setup by or on the advice of an accountant so they're usually more familiar with the process than most lawyers.

No-one is obliged to have legal representation, though it'd probably be unwise not to. Depending what the action is, the judge may well "strongly suggest" that you do take advice and maybe stop proceedings until you do so, especially if you're about to drop yourself in it. If you insist on going on on your own the judge will see that you keep to the rules.

Probably depends on the "action". Legal stuff needs a lawyer, non-legal probably doesn't :) Post more specific information if you can.

Directors can represent the company. Use of the lawyer depends on the action and position. Lawyers are usually recommended for their abilities and experience in helping the clients. however they do charge a fee.
