Setting Aside Judgements
Received an unexpected default judgment? Speak to our Billericay solicitors about the grounds and procedure for applying to set it aside.
About Setting Aside Judgements
A default judgment can be entered when a defendant has not responded to a claim in time. Whether it can be set aside depends on how it was entered and the relevant circumstances. Discovering a judgment does not itself cancel it, and an application may need to be made promptly.
Key Points
- Keep the claim papers and judgment notice.
- Record when and how you first learned of the proceedings.
- Prepare the documents supporting any defence and explanation for delay.
How We Can Help
We review service of the claim, the procedural history and any proposed defence. We explain the possible application, evidence and costs, including whether a separate request about enforcement is necessary while the court considers the matter.
