If a Judgment of debt has been entered against you - for example, because you ignored the Statement of Claim or didn't turn up in court on the date set for the Hearing - in some circumstances you may apply to the Court to have the Judgment set aside.
You will hae to explain to the Court why you failed to lodge a Defence or did not attend Court, and you will also be required to file your grounds for Defence within a specified time. In most cases, you will have to pay your Creditor's legal and court costs, as assessed by the Court.
