Statutory Demands

Advice on issuing or responding to statutory demands and assessing insolvency risks from solicitors in Billericay, Essex.

About Statutory Demands

A statutory demand is a formal demand that can have insolvency consequences if the relevant conditions are met. It should not be treated as an ordinary reminder or used to bypass a genuine dispute about the debt. Different procedures apply to individuals and companies, and response deadlines can be short.

Key Points

  • Identify whether the debtor is an individual or company.
  • Check the amount, basis and any dispute over the debt.
  • Take prompt advice on a demand you have received.

How We Can Help

We review the debt and whether a statutory demand is appropriate. We can advise on preparation, service or a response, explaining the risks and the procedure relevant to the debtor rather than assuming one process fits every case.
