Debt recovery starts with proof of the obligation and its performance, not with a template demand. Review the agreement, invoices, acceptance records, correspondence and payment history together.
Before court, identify the amount due, the due date, limitation issues, dispute-resolution clauses and the debtor’s current status.
What should a pre-trial review cover?
The review should connect the contract with the primary documents and communications. It should also test potential defences and the practical prospect of enforcement.

- delivery or acceptance
- due date and notices
- penalties and interest
- debtor status and assets
What happens after judgment?
A judgment does not collect itself. Enforcement documents, assets, priority and actions by the enforcement officer should be monitored.

- submit it correctly
- track measures and deadlines
Documents and facts to prepare
