Data Format: Entry of Judgment (Default and On Admission)

This document addresses the content of media relating to requests by claimants for entry of judgment.

A separate request must be provided for each defendant, even if two defendants share a joint judgment (jointly and severally). If a joint judgment is requested then the requests should follow one another on the file.

A request will consist of the claimant's unique CPC code, the Claim Number, defendant ID and address, and other Judgment data.

The date of judgment will be allocated by the CCBC system. It will be set equal to the date the file6 is received for processing by the CCBC.

Formats for NUMBER or MONEY attributes that allow for decimal places are specified "n1,n2" where "n1" is the number of digits before the decimal point and "n2" the number of digits following the decimal point. For example item "Amount" would be specified 999999.99 giving a total length of 9 bytes (inclusive of the decimal point).

Certain CCBC Creditors who act for more than one claimant may require judgment orders to be "personalised" with specific payment details (eg where a remittance is to be made payable/sent to a party other than the creditor themselves). In addition the CCBC offers the facility to print judgment orders with the payment slip attachments and personalised "Method of Payment" paragraphs. A creditor requiring the printing of a payment slip will have to supply additional attributes as part of the judgment request (eg the "OCR" codeline). Standard payment details (eg beneficiary, sort code, account number) can be stored on the CCBC system as defaults for a specific creditor and will be printed on all judgments. Creditors who require "case specific" details to be printed on judgment orders must supply the attributes as part of the judgment request. The following attributes must be supplied within the judgment request where they differ from creditor defaults. A creditor should supply only those items that differ from default information held on the CCBC system, space filling the remaining attributes to the length specified. Certain items however are related (eg payee name and address) and should be supplied as a set if any of those items differ from creditor defaults.

This information will be printed in the "Name and address for payment" box on the front of the judgment order in addition to certain "Method of payment" paragraphs on the reverse.

The items should be supplied as a set if any of the items differ from defaults
