What should I do if the particulars of my claim exceed space available?

by MCOL

The particulars of claim included on the Money Claim Online (MCOL) claim form cannot not exceed 1080 characters, on up to 24 lines.

If your claim requires more characters or lines you serve the additional particulars after issuing your claim. Provide a copy of the additional particulars to the Defendant within 14 days of issuing the claim, and file an N215 Certificate of Service with the Court. The Defendant then has 14 days to reply from the date you serve the additional particulars to them. If the claim is transferred to a local court to proceed, you will be required to send the particulars to the court.

by post using N1 claim form

If the particulars of your claim exceed the space provided on the N1 Claim Form you attach the additional particulars to the claim on a seperate sheet.
