Winding up notices are otherwise known as Statutory Demands.
Winding up notices need to be supported by an affidavit sworn by the appropriate company director setting out the basis for the demand.
We provide fixed prices for preparation of Winding Up Notices.
Winding up notices need to be very carefully considered and should not be prepared and served when there is a genuine dispute regarding a debt. That is not to say that the claims giving rise to a dispute are not rejected but, that if a dispute is raised, then legal proceedings should be commenced against the party raising the dispute and a winding up notice should not be served. The reason for this is, that if a winding up notice is served an application may be made for it to be set aside and a claim for costs could be made against you. It may be preferable to commence legal proceedings in court and seek judgment against the debtor rather than issue a winding up notice.
If you have been served with a Statutory Demand (otherwise known as a winding up notice) and you believe there is a dispute about the debt that is being claimed in the Statutory Demand, then you may be able to apply to the Court for an order to set aside the Statutory Demand. Read further about setting aside Statutory Demands here.
You will need to show that the creditor knew there was a genuine dispute and should not have issued the Statutory Demand. If you are able to show the court this, then most likely you will be successful in obtaining a costs order against the party issuing the Statutory Demand.
