I am the claimant and I managed to get the defense stroke out. I
should like to obtain a default judgment by filling a request on the
relevant practice form, pursuant the judge order.
I understand this form is N225.

My question is where do I insert the damages on this form.Should I add
them up to the 'Amount of claim...' or use a separate sheet of paper?

Many thanks for your help.

Obviously, under "Amount of Claim". Just say what figure you are claiming,
if it is a liquidated amount, and add interest and court fees and come to a
total.

If however you are asking for damages to be assessed (eg you want damages
for hurt feelings or for personal injury or for anything else that cannot be
precisely calculated in pounds and pence) you need a different form, N227.

I must say I am not convinced that either form is quite appropriate if a
defence has been struck out. The form asks you to certify that the defendant
has "not filed an admission or defence". However, if the court staff tell
you that it's the correct form, use it.

I see what you mean about the suitability of the form, but there does not
appear to be anything else in the array of CPR forms which can meet the
case. I suppose that if the Defence is struck out, the result is as if no
defence had been filed, but there is certainly some element of fiction in
all this.

It's exactly what I meant Andrew, I understand however from the Court
clerk that I should use form N225 and attach a separate letter to the
Judge the about any other damages claim.

Many thanks to all.
