Mercantile Law

This is a basic statement of claim by a Plaintiff claiming entitlements under a contract (usually money).

A supplier of goods sues a director of the purchasing corporation for debt recovery under the director's guarantee of the corporation's trading debt.

Defendant's request for particulars of a contract which the Plaintiff pleads in a statement of claim.

Statement of claim for a refund of fees paid for services, which were a waste of money.

A statement of claim by a vendor against a purchaser who paid a deposit by cheque which bounced.

Statement of claim suing on a guarantee.

Statement of Claim by a licensed builder or tradesman for fees for work at a commercial site. This precedent is for commercial building work only. (Note: For commercial building work, the Home Building Act, which requires residential building contracts and variations to be in writing, does not apply.) (Note: Cross Claims look like Statements of Claim, except that the 'Defendant' claims about the 'Plaintiff', and demands a remedy from the Plaintiff.)

Statement of claim against a corporation, a purchaser of goods which has not paid for the goods.

This is a short form of statement of claim suing for "goods sold and delivered", which sues on three invoices. The Defendant does not have perfect records of how much has been delivered, and invoiced, and paid for. The Defendant does not have 100% faith in the Plaintiff's accounting system. So the Defendant requests particulars of the claim, including documents.
