Common questions
What happens if the company doesn't comply in 21 days?If the company does not pay, or apply to the court to set the demand aside, within 21 days, it is taken to have failed to comply (s 459F). On a winding-up application made within 3 months after that, the court must presume the company is insolvent (s 459C).
What if the company disputes the debt?If the debt is genuinely disputed, the company can apply to the court to set aside the demand. If the debt is disputed, do not use a statutory demand: use a Letter of Demand or a tribunal or court claim instead.
Can I use this against a sole trader or individual?No. Statutory demands under the Corporations Act only apply to registered companies (Pty Ltd, Ltd). For debts owed by individuals or sole traders, use our Letter of Demand or Tribunal Application services.
