Getting out odept

Setting Aside Statutory Demands

We are routinely instructed by clients to set aside Statutory Demands. An applic
ation to set aside a Statutory Demand is to be made within 18 days of the Statutory Demand being presented.
The Judge considers the application and then decides as to whether a hearing is necessary to hear the dispute. If a genuine triable issue exists, the Statutory Demand is usually set aside by the Court.

Defending Possession and Sale Applications

Defending possession & sale applications brought by the Trustee.We regularly defend possessions and sale applications brought by Trustees in bankruptcy. We represent the spouses of bankrupts by asserting their legal and equitable rights in the family home and seek to purchase Trustees interests in property.
We also enter into negotiations with the Trustee in bankruptcy with regard to the true market value of the home and also assert third party interests.
