Used at these steps

What it is for

Asks the clerk to take an action in your case, such as noting a defendant in default or recording that you dispute proposed payment terms.

Who uses it

Usually the plaintiff.

When to use it

When no Defence was filed within 20 days of service (Rule 9.01), to note the defendant in default; or within 20 days to dispute payment terms proposed in a Defence (Rule 9.03).

What you need

Tick each one off as you gather it. Nothing here is saved.

Tips

  • Make sure the full time to file a Defence has passed, including any extra time for mail.
  • Check that your proof of service is on file first.
  • For a debt or fixed amount, Form 11B is the next step (Rule 11.02).
