Course Overview
Some of the most commonly used court applications relate to debt recovery or money claims. Many lawyers, no matter what their specialisation, take court action to recover a debt or other money allegedly owed by a person (the debtor) to another person (the creditor), under a contract or otherwise.
In this short course, we will illustrate the main principles of a debt recovery matter for liquidated claims and discuss the procedure to conduct and implement an undefended debt recovery matter in the District Court.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Advise a client on a debt recovery matter in the District Court
- Explain the procedure to conduct an undefended debt recovery matter in the District Court
- Prepare to conduct a contract claim in the District Court
- Identify the documents required to conduct a contract claim in the District Court
