Where the defendant has admitted the claim, a disposal hearing may be necessary for the court to determine how the debt should be paid. Such a hearing will only be necessary where

  • the court have insufficient information to determine the rate (or time) of payment, or
  • you have challenged the rate (or time) of payment ordered by the court.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp court will give you and the defendant at least 14 days notice of the date and time of the hearing.

You must attend the hearing and

  • tell the district judge why you do not accept the defendant's offer of payment (or the court's order)
  • produce recent evidence of the defendant's means to support your argument.

You must therefore carefully prepare for the disposal hearing (DMBM666170).
