Statutory Demands are powerful legal tools — but if handled incorrectly, they can lead to serious financial and legal consequences. Whether you're a creditor considering insolvency proceedings or a debtor facing a demand, getting the right legal advice is critical from the very beginning.
Most people assume that once a will is written, its terms are final. But the law can sometimes step in if a will leaves someone without the financial support they reasonably need. That’s exactly what happened in the recent case of Isaacs v Green (2025).
A statutory demand is a formal legal notice requiring repayment of a debt. For companies, it applies to debts over £750, and for individuals, debts over £5,000. If ignored, it can quickly lead to winding up proceedings or bankruptcy. This guide explains how statutory demands work and what to do if you receive one.
When it comes to debt recovery, few legal tools are as direct and effective as a statutory demand. When you are owed money, understanding the process and the strict time limits involved in sending a statutory demand can be vital in increasing the chances of successful recovery. Used correctly, they can provide a swift and powerful route to resolution.
It is widely believed that your next of kin has an automatic entitlement to manage your affairs for you if you become unable to. In reality, although your next of kin may be asked for their input, they do not have any specific legal rights to make decisions on your behalf.
In this article, Ruby Christie discusses the importance of setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney to grant those you trust with the legal standing to manage your affairs.
Most commercial leases include rent reviews every few years. Traditionally, these are “upwards only”, meaning rents can rise or remain the same but never fall. Reviews are usually linked to open market rent or inflation.
While this protects landlords from declining rental values, it often leaves tenants paying above-market rents during downturns. For businesses, particularly in the retail sector, this can create financial pressure at already challenging times.
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (“ECCTA”) represents one of the most significant shifts in company regulation in a generation. It empowers Companies House to move from a passive filing service to an active regulator – one able to challenge, reject, and even remove inaccurate or misleading company data.
For businesses and their advisers, this means a new era of transparency, accountability, and enforcement.
