Anderson v Kas Bank NV & Anor [2004] EWHC 532 (Ch) (16 March 2004)

The statutory demand was properly served as all reasonable steps were taken to bring it to the debtor's attention; there was no substantial dispute as to the debt; cross-claims were unsubstantiated and would not extinguish the debt; lack of notice of judgment delivery did not cause prejudice as no evidence was provided that the debt could have been paid within a short period.
