  • how do I ask the court for an adjournment?

    HMRC has submitted a bankruptcy petition over unpaid tax bills, which is due to be heard next week.


    When I first received the petition around a month ago, I wrote to the HMRC solicitor and their enforcement department saying that I would like to ask the court for an adjournment of approx. eight weeks in order that I can pursue two other options: (a) setting up an IVA, or (b) borrowing at least some of the money to pay the tax bill.


    Today I spoke to the HRMC solicitor, who said they would not be opposing my request for more time to sort the issue out. They have also finally written to me to confirm that (though I haven't received the letter yet, it should arrive Thursday).


    However, my question is: how do I actually ask the court for an adjournment?


    Should I just turn up at the hearing time and speak to the judge then? Or can I contact the judge, or the court administration, in advance by letter/fax/phone/email and make the request that way?


    Thanks in advance for any practical advice!
