I have received a part admission

If the defendant agrees that he does owe some money, but less than is being claimed, this is called a part admission. The defendant can make a part admission online either by completing the N9A in the claim pack or online. This should be sent direct to the court.

By making a part admission the defendant can defend the disputed amount and either:

• pay the amount admitted;
• apply for additional time to pay the amount admitted; or
• make a counterclaim against the claimant.

If the defendant makes a part admission, the court will send a copy to you. You must decide whether to accept the part admission and notify the CCBC of your decision by fax or post.

If you accept it you can request that the court enters judgment against the defendant in the terms offered. You should complete form N225 and forward this to the court.

If you do not accept it,  you must inform the court within 14 days. Failure to do so will result in the claim being stayed.
