What this usually involves

A statutory demand is a formal warning that winding-up or bankruptcy proceedings may follow. It is a powerful tool for undisputed debts and a serious risk if used where the debt is genuinely disputed.

  • Checking whether the debt is genuinely undisputed
  • Preparing and serving the demand correctly
  • Applying to set aside or restrain a demand served against you

Common questions

What happens if a statutory demand is ignored?
After 21 days the creditor may petition to wind up a company or bankrupt an individual, which is why demands should never be left unanswered.
Is a statutory demand appropriate for a disputed debt?
No. Serving one over a substantially disputed debt can be treated as an abuse of process and lead to a costs order against the creditor.
