N244 Application Process

The N244 application process involves establishing sufficient grounds for the application, completing the form with clear and detailed information and preparing your defence before the emergency court hearing.

HMS can assess your case, establish the grounds for the application, complete the N244 form and help you prepare your defence before the hearing.

How Does the N244 Application Process Work?

The N244 application process involves three key stages: establishing sufficient grounds for the application, completing the form with clear and detailed information and preparing your defence before the emergency court hearing.

1. Establish the Grounds for the Application

There must be sufficient grounds for making the N244 application. HMS assesses your case and establishes the grounds before completing the form.

Simply having nowhere else to go is not, by itself, a sufficient defence.

2. Complete the N244 Application

The information supplied on the N244 should be detailed but concise. The purpose is to give the court the information needed to consider the application for an emergency hearing.

HMS can help complete the N244 application so that the details of your case are presented clearly.

3. Prepare for the Hearing

A defence should be prepared before the N244 application is submitted because emergency hearings can sometimes be arranged at short notice.

HMS helps prepare the defence in advance so that you are ready if the court lists the hearing quickly.

What Happens After the N244 Application Is Submitted?

Submitting the N244 application does not itself stop the eviction. If the court accepts the application and lists an emergency hearing, the judge will decide whether the eviction should be suspended.

Emergency hearings can be arranged at short notice, which is why HMS prepares the defence before the application is submitted.

For more information about the hearing itself, see our N244 Emergency Hearing guide.
