Hello all..

I am a newbie to the forum and wanted to say hello to everyone. I need some guidance as to which forum to post my question regarding setting aside a CCJ against a company (in Jersey) which is now dissolved.

Set Aside Application

[gleebe]

Hello.

So basically, approx 3 years ago I was given a judgement by default, to cut a long story short, my father who lives in the ROI suffered a heart attack so I stayed with him for a few months.

Several months later, i returned home to see a stack of letters, particularly a letter from the court saying I have failed to pay a judgement against me. I foolishly paid it and have endured the consequences since. In mitigation, had I known there was a claim against me, I would have defended it because I eventually found out that the claim was for something I disputed anyways.

3 years later, I decided to set it aside and so went for the hearing. The judge said I'd struggle on a good day because of how long I have left it, to which I argued that there's no fast and loose definition to when a 'timely' application is to be submitted (even 2 years has been seen as timely enough in some instances).

The judge then proceeded to say that notice has been given to the court by the original claimant that they have now dissolved the company (based in Jersey) and therefore he will struggle to see how I can bring, or rather who I can bring, in his words, proceedings against.

He ordered that I be given time to restore the company to the register and then proceed with my claim (a seemingly near impossible task, discounting the chance of aet aside in the first place).

Does anyone have any experience with restoring dissolved companies or any knowledge about Jersey based companies? I am aware that there will be further costs involved now and still no surefire chance of even getting the company in question restored.

I understand the worse case scenario that the CCJ will remain for another 3 years, which is painstaking.

Thank you in advance for listening to my rant.
