Sequestrated Scotland

What is a statutory demand?

A Statutory Demand is a legal document with the words Statutory Demand at the top.

It will normally be delivered by a Messenger at Arms (an officer of the Scottish Court of Session) or a Sheriff Officer

It gives notice that a creditor may make you bankrupt if you do not pay what you owe them.

A Statutory Demand expires after 21 days. If you do not pay within this period, the Statutory Demand can be used in a court to demonstrate that you are apparently insolvent and therefore a candidate for bankruptcy.
