What to expect at Bankruptcy Court (High Court)

For an in-person hearing at Bankruptcy Court (High Court), start with the address and time on your hearing notice. Plan the journey to EC4A 1NL and allow extra time for the security checks at the entrance.

The hearing notice and any directions explain what your hearing is for and how to attend. A court or tribunal may deal with several matters during a session. Check in on arrival and ask staff where to wait; they can explain the building’s arrangements but cannot advise you on your case.

Before you leave home

Bring your hearing notice, case reference and the documents you have been asked to provide. Keep important papers organised so you can find them during the hearing. Check the court’s security rules before packing food, drinks or other items, and put your phone on silent before entering a hearing room.

The court lists hearing loop, baby changing facility, disabled access, lift among its facilities. The descriptions below explain what is available. If you need an adjustment, contact the court beforehand so staff can discuss the arrangements for your visit.

When you arrive

Follow the signs to security, then find reception or an usher. Give your case reference if asked and check the courtroom or waiting area. If you do not understand a practical instruction, ask staff to explain it. Tell the usher if you need a break, assistance or cannot hear what is being said.

Can someone come with me?

Check before bringing a supporter or child. Public access and permission for supporters depend on the type of hearing and any order made by the judge. A person accompanying you is not automatically allowed to speak for you.

What if I am late or cannot attend?

Contact the court using the number for your type of case and tell your legal representative as soon as possible. Explain the problem and follow the court’s instructions. Do not assume that sending a message changes the hearing date.
