What is a Statement of Claim?
A Statement of Claim represents the first step in a court proceeding. This notice is issued to the directors of a company notifying them that the Court will now seek debt recovery. Debt owed by a company has been verified, and now, the company must respond to the notice within a 28-day period. It is critical that you seek professional advice as soon as you receive a Statement of Claim.
That way, you can secure the expertise and guidance you need to defend the claim before the Plaintiff attempts to have a Judgement Debt order passed. In short, don’t ignore a Statement of Claim. Act fast and secure the best possible outcome.
What is Judgement debt?
If you fail to respond to a Statement of Claim within the notice period, the Court will order you to repay the debt owed to the Plaintiff – this is known as a Judgement debt. A Judgement debt can be enforced in one of several ways:
- A Writ of Possession issued in the Supreme or District Courts over land owned
- A Writ of Possession over goods
- A Charging Order
- A Garnishee Order
- A Writ for the levy property
