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
Payment of the owed sum is made by obtaining one of the following:
  • A Charging Order
  • A Garnishee Order
  • A Writ for the levy property
If the Judgement debt is more than $2,000, the Plaintiff can apply to the Federal Court to have you declared bankrupt. As a company director, this is something you definitely want to avoid.
