What N1 is used for
N1 is the Part 7 civil claim form. The official publication includes the current form, claimant notes and links to the online money claim service. The correct route depends on the claim and the service's eligibility rules.
Prepare before you start
- The correct legal names and addresses of the parties.
- The basis of the claim, amounts and any interest claimed.
- Relevant correspondence and evidence of steps already taken.
- The current issue fee or Help with Fees information.
Which fee applies?
Money claim issue fees depend on the specified value, including interest. Other remedies or procedures can attract different or additional fees. Use the finder as a starting point and check the official conditions.
Check the published fee schedulesCheck the next step
A claim is not automatically a small claim because N1 is used. Check the applicable pre-action steps, deadlines and procedure before issuing. A court judgment does not guarantee payment.
