County court judgement against Boris Johnson, record shows

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57087274

A county court judgement has been registered against Boris Johnson's name for an unpaid debt of £535.

The court order, which names Mr Johnson, of 10 Downing Street, was made on 26 October, according to a database of judgements. The creditor and nature of the debt are not included in the database record, which was first reported by Private Eye magazine.

Downing Street has been contacted for a comment.

County court judgements are issued in England and Wales when people fail to repay money they owe.

"If you get a judgment, this means that the court has formally decided that you owe the money," according to a government website. A bailiff "may visit your home if you do not pay your debts", the website warns. "If you're late with your payments, you could be taken back to court and you may have to pay extra costs," the website adds.
Well, that's (possibly) embarassing for BJ .....

Will the bailiffs be banging on the black door .....

If boris is out at work, inventing strategies to ameliorate the country's trade deficit, carrie and their son are taking an afternoon nap, and their neighbour offers to advance the £535, will that lead to similar accusations as the new curtains?

Sounds more like a sub plot for Coronation Street than Downing Street. The so called government - and all its supposed 'leaders' becomes more ridiculous by the day!

Boris Johnson doesn't strike me as the sort of person who needs credit anyway. Besides I know someone who ended up with a CCJ because of apathy.

No 10 seeks to cancel county court debt judgment against Boris Johnson

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57087274

Downing Street is seeking to cancel a county court judgment against Prime Minister Boris Johnson that cites an unpaid bill of £535.

A Downing Street spokesperson said the claim against the PM was without merit.

Anyone who has had a county court judgment (CCJ) against them can apply for it to be cancelled - or "set aside" in the legal language - but they must convince the court that there is a good reason for this to happen.

That could include the judgment having been issued in error - perhaps because the debt had actually been paid, or because there was never a debt in the first place.

It's not clear whether that is Mr Johnson's argument, given he could have raised these points before the court order was issued.

Sometimes, people seek to have a CCJ cancelled because they genuinely did not know about it, such as if they never received the formal request to tell the court their side of the story.

That can happen when the court has been provided with the wrong address for a debtor who only later learns of the judgment when they discover it has damaged their credit score.

The official rules for applications to set aside a judgment state: "Most applications will require a hearing and you will be expected to attend. The court will allocate a hearing date and time for the application. Please indicate in a covering letter any dates that you are unavailable within the next six weeks."

The application must come with some kind of "statement of truth", explaining why the judgment should be set aside.

The prime minister could * instruct a lawyer to appear for him.
* "will" .....
