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).
