Setting Aside Judgements<\/h2>\n

Sometimes a court judgment (often a default judgment entered because no defence was filed) is obtained against you unfairly or wrongly. You may be able to apply to set it aside under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR Part 13).<\/h5>\n

There are two main grounds:<\/p>\n

Mandatory (court must set aside): If the judgment was wrongly entered (e.g., no claim form served properly, or you filed a defence\/acknowledgment in time but it wasn’t processed)
\nDiscretionary (court may set aside): If you have a real prospect of successfully defending the claim, acted promptly on learning of the judgment, and there’s a good reason for the delay (e.g., didn’t receive papers)<\/p>\n

You need to apply within a short time (promptly is key \u2014 delays weaken your case). Provide evidence (witness statement, draft defence) and pay a fee (unless exempt).
\nConsequences if successful: The judgment is removed, and the case restarts normally. If unsuccessful, costs may be ordered against you.
\nWe review your situation quickly \u2014 checking if mandatory grounds apply or building a strong discretionary application. Acting fast is crucial; contact us as soon as you learn of the judgment.Court Proceedings Information<\/a>
