Will you need to go to court for debt recovery?
Many people avoid making debt recovery claims because they don’t want to go through a court battle. In most matters, our clients are able to protect their cash flow and maximise the amount of money they recover without going to court. Often, we are able to get results with early demands, or we can negotiate a payment plan or settlement.
If the matter does reach litigation, the court can order judgement against the debtor. The judgement may include legal costs and interest. If the debtor does not pay after judgment, a range of procedures may be available to recover the debt, including:
- Seeking a court order to seize the debtor’s property
- Seeking a court order to garnish of the debtor’s wages
- Petitioning the debtor for bankruptcy (for an individual) or winding up proceedings (for a company)

Testimonial
“My business specialises in recruiting healthcare workers for healthcare providers across Australia. When a client didn’t pay, I called Butlers Business Lawyers. I was impressed by the professional, business-like approach taken by the team. Following proceedings in the Local Court, I obtained judgement against the debtor and was repaid for the full amount. Thank you Butlers Business Lawyers!”
