Debt Recovery Law

To protect your cash flow you need to ensure that your business can collect bad debt. This is a common area of business activity and there is a well established legal process for debt collection for businesses.

Debt

The Process of Recovery of Bad Debt

  1. Letter of demand is sent to the debtor. This debt collection letter needs to be legally admissible and so must include include: specific details of the debt, a request that payment be made by a certain date; and a warning that debt recovery options will be pursued if payment is not received by this date.
  2. Suing for debt. Court proceedings commence with the filing of a Statement of Claim. The Court handling the matter depends on the amount of the debt and the forms required vary so it’s important to seek legal advice at this stage.
  3. The way that the debtor responds to the Statement of Claim determines the next steps. They may agree to an instalment order, they may not respond at all in which case a Court Judgment will be obtained or they may file a Defence.

Court Judgments

The Court has a range of options available to proceed with collection of your money. These include:

  • Seizing property, where the debtors goods are seized and sold at auction
  • Selling Real Estate
  • Summons, where the debtor has to attend a public Court examination to explain their assets and liabilities
  • Garnishee Order, where a percentage of their wages are given to you
  • Bankruptcy/winding up proceedings
