Case Study · Debt Recovery

Enforcing a Corporate Judgment Through a Director’s Examination

After attempts at the registered office were unsuccessful, a corporate debt claim progressed to judgment and a director’s examination in aid of enforcement.

The situation

A professional services firm asked Precision Paralegal Services to recover an unpaid account from a corporate client.

Our approach

A corporate search confirmed the registered office. When attempts to serve the company there were unsuccessful, we sent the claim to the directors at the addresses identified in the search. Judgment followed.

We ran a bank search and sent demand letters to the directors. Payment did not follow.

A notice of examination was served on a director, and the examination proceeded in aid of enforcement.

The outcome

Judgment was obtained against the corporate debtor, and a director was examined in aid of enforcement.

What this case illustrates

A corporate search can inform both service efforts and subsequent enforcement work. Here, the matter progressed from unsuccessful service attempts to a judgment and examination; the summary does not report a monetary recovery.
