9 yr old ccj needs reinstatement

[MathewLisett]

how do i apply the county court to request a reinstatement of the 2007 ccj. Or is there a specific form to request this or extension.

 

google doesnt seem to come up with anything.

 

i was the claimant and was unable to enforce the ccj becuase when i had won the ccj the defendant moved and i hadnt been able to locate him until now. so i need to know what form i need to fill in in the hopes the court will brign it back to life and allow the high court writ to happen

You won't exactly need to reinstate the judgement, but you will need to get permission to enforce it. You will need a form N446 available from the County Court's website

Before you can do that the OP will probably need to make an application using form N244 for permission.

do i add the case number next to the judgement summons?

As advised you will need to make application (n244 with hearing £255 fee) to request permission to enforce a judgment after 6 years.

 

Dont just submit the N446.

Time Limits for enforcement of judgments

 

21. Section 24(1) of the Limitation Act provides that an “action” shall not be brought on anyjudgment more than 6 years after the date on which the judgment became enforceable.

This section applies only to a judgment obtained in England or Wales, but the limitation period in relation to a foreign judgment is also 6 years on the basis that such an action

is a simple contract debt.

 

22. While the term action is defined as including any proceedings in a court of law, it should be noted that s.24 is not concerned with procedures to enforce judgments already

obtained but only with substantive rights to bring an action on a judgment.

 

23. It is not an abuse of process for a judgment creditor under an existing judgment to pursue a second action within six years based on that judgment in order to protect its position

on the enforcement of its rights for the recovery of a debt. Judgment in the second action will start time running again.

 

24. While there is no statutory time limit for enforcement of a judgment other than by action, writs of execution can only be issued with the court’s permission if more than 6 years have elapsed since judgment. Permission will only be granted in exceptional cases.

thanks but cant i have my question answered please

 

and i couldnt action my ccj because the chap had moved moments before the ccj was awarded and its only now that i have found his address.

That would form part of your reasons in the application.

 

There will a Court hearing and the other side may contest it and there's no guarantee you'll win.

 

There's also the possibility of a costs order being made against you if you lose, and even if you win.

Ignore this for now, you need to do the application first.
