FAQs About the Use of a Process Server for Statutory Demands
What is a process server and why do I need one for a Statutory Demand?
A process server is a professional responsible for delivering legal documents in line with court rules. For Statutory Demands, a process server ensures the demand is served correctly and provides evidence of service in case of a future court application.
Why is the personal service of a Statutory Demand so important?
The law requires Statutory Demands to be served personally on the debtor (or via methods permitted by the court). Improper service can result in the demand being set aside or ignored, making it harder to recover the debt. Our process servers ensure the demand is delivered legally, reducing the risk of dispute.
How long does a debtor have to respond to a Statutory Demand?
The debtor has 21 days to pay the debt or come to a suitable arrangement. Alternatively, they have 18 days to apply to set the demand aside if they believe there are grounds to dispute it.
What happens if the debtor avoids service?
Our experienced team uses professional, lawful methods to locate and serve evasive debtors. If personal service is not possible, we can support an application for substituted service using our detailed service attempts as evidence.
Will I receive legal proof that the Statutory Demand was served?
Yes. We provide a detailed Statement or an Affidavit of Service confirming that the demand was served to the debtor in compliance with legal requirements. If you proceed with bankruptcy or winding-up proceedings, this proof can be submitted to the court.
What Happens Once the Statutory Demand Is Served?
Proof of Service
You receive a Statement of Service or Affidavit of Service confirming that the Statutory Demand was delivered correctly and in full compliance with the Insolvency Rules 2016.
Waiting Period
The debtor has 21 days from the date of service of the demand to either pay the debt in full or reach an acceptable agreement with the creditor. Alternatively, they may apply to the court within 18 days to have the demand set aside, but only if there are valid grounds, such as a genuine dispute over the debt.
No Response or Payment
If the debtor does not respond, pay, or successfully challenge the demand within the required time, the creditor becomes entitled to escalate the matter by issuing a Bankruptcy Petition (for individuals) or a Winding-Up Petition (for companies).
Court Application
The Statement or Affidavit of Service is submitted to the court as formal evidence that the demand was properly served. This document is essential to proceed with insolvency action, demonstrating compliance with legal service requirements.
Insolvency Proceedings Begin
Once the petition is filed and accepted by the court, a hearing will be scheduled. If the court is satisfied that the debt remains unpaid and that all procedures have been followed correctly, it may issue a Bankruptcy or Winding-Up Order.
Outcome Notification
If the order is granted, the debtor is officially declared bankrupt, or the company begins liquidation. You will be notified of the outcome, and an insolvency practitioner will be appointed to manage the debtor’s assets.
