It is possible to serve a statutory demand outside England & Wales - but only in limited circumstances. Our brilliant team are here to help.
A statutory demand may be served on a debtor over whom the English courts would have insolvency jurisdiction, that is:
- companies within the jurisdiction of the English courts;
- individuals within the scope of section 265(1) of the IA 1986.
It is not necessary to obtain the court’s permission to serve a statutory demand outside the jurisdiction because it is not a document which is issued by the court – for example like a county court or high court claim.
If a statutory demand is served abroad, then like other types of court proceedings, the time periods for responding are extended beyond the normal time periods which apply to service within England & Wales.

We have decades of combined experience meaning that we can deal with any type of statutory demand issue – whether you are a creditor or a debtor.
