Community: Insolvency court
Question: I have had to serve a summary judgement on an individual who refuses to pay back a loan. However, I now have a court date and would like to know what I can expect from the court process since I can't afford a solicitor?
Discussion: The court may expect you to go over all the documentation you have submitted. Do not rely on the court having all this documentation easily to hand, however – take copies. And if the person who owes you money shows up at the hearing, they will have a chance to defend the claim, and the judge may ask them questions.
