Very often a Judgment Creditor will not have any up to date information about a Debtor's financial circumstances. To find out more the debtor can be required to attend Court and give evidence on oath about those circumstances. Once that information is known the judgment Creditor will be in a better position to decide how to enforce his or her judgment.
An Order to obtain information from a debtor is requested by lodging Form N316 with the Court together with a fee of £45. The Judgment Debtor will be ordered to attend Court. Failure to do so can lead to imprisonment.
