Debt Recovery Law

Are you owed money that you would like to collect?

If so, you can take legal action to recover it with Salisbury Law’s debt recovery solicitors. In certain situations, you can also recover your legal costs related to recovery proceedings.

Salisbury Law can assist you with:

  • Preparing a Statement of Claim – used to demand either payment or defence of the matter within 28 days (after the Statement of Claim is served); and with
  • Entering Judgment against the debtor (when no action is taken within 28 days).

Once Judgment is entered, a number of procedures are available to enforce it. At Salsibury Law, our debt recovery solicitors can assist you with Writs (seizure of goods to sell in order to repay the debt), Examination Summons (requiring the debtor to attend Court to display how they will satisfy the Judgement), and Garnishees Orders (whereby the Court can order a third party to pay money to a creditor instead of a debtor).

Bankruptcy

If an individual is declared bankrupt by the Courts, a Trustee is appointed to take control of the insolvent person’s estate in order to turn the assets into cash to distribute equally among unsecured creditors (those who do not hold security for payment of the debt). Secured creditors may commence debt recovery by disposing of the asset securing the loan (e.g. a bank would do this if mortgage payments are not made on a house).

Bankruptcy proceedings are handled in the County Court.

Insolvency

When a company is declared insolvent the Court has the power to wind it up and appoint a Liquidator, whose responsibility is to turn the assets into cash and distribute it in the order set out in the Corporations Act. The creditor and the liquidator firstly recover their costs, followed by certain entitlements to employees. The balance is distributed among unsecured creditors.

Winding up proceedings are handled in either the Supreme Court or the Federal Court. Salisbury Law can assist you by filing an Originating Process. If the Court is satisfied that the company is trading insolvent, it can then appoint a liquidator.
