What is a statutory demand?

A statutory demand is a special type of written request from a creditor (someone who is owed money) for payment of a debt.

The person or company that receives the demand has 21 days to settle the debt or 18 days to ask the court to set aside (dismiss) the demand.

The creditor may present a petition to court for a:

  • bankruptcy order if after 21 days, a statutory demand claiming the debt which is equal to or exceeds £750; or
  • winding-up order if, after 21 days, a statutory demand claiming the debt  exceeds £750

is not:    paid

  • secured (an agreement reached for payment), or
  • set aside.
