Getting a Jersey Judgment Set Aside
The court will advise you of the procedure and cost.
Applications to set aside can only be made if the judgment was taken in absence. The court also requires a sworn affidavit to support the application, detailing the following aspects that may be applicable:
• reason for absence in court at the time of judgment
• circumstances under which the judgment became known and the steps taken to remedy the situation
• outline of the defence to the claim
