Debt Recovery
The type of legal proceedings for the recovery of a debt will depend on the amount of the debt owed by the person or business. There are four main courts you may go to depending on the amount of the debt:
- Debts up to $10,000 are dealt with in the Small Claims Division of the Local Court.
- Debts between $10,000 and $60,000 are dealt with in the General Division of the Local Court.
- Debts between $60,000 and $750,000 are dealt with in the District Court.
- Debts over $750,000 are dealt with in the Supreme Court.
Legal proceedings go through a number of steps. Broadly speaking, these steps can be summarised as follows:
Step One - Statement of Claim
Step Two - Serving the Claim
Step Three - Legal Proceedings
Step Four - Enforcing the Judgement
