What is an N244 Application?
An N244 is a court form used in the UK to request a judge’s decision in your case. It’s the most common way to:
Set aside a County Court Judgment (CCJ)
Ask for a hearing to be adjourned or postponed
Extend a court deadline
Amend or vary an existing order
Apply for relief from sanctions
The form may look straightforward, but getting it wrong can delay your case or lead to rejection. That’s why many people choose to have a solicitor prepare their N244 for them.
When Should You Use an N244?
You should consider an N244 application if you need the court to:
- Pause or delay proceedings
- Cancel or vary a judgment made against you
- Amend your claim or defence
- Reinstate a claim that’s been struck out
- Request more time to comply with an order
Each situation has its own legal test, and the way you word your application can make the difference between success and failure.
Common Mistakes People Make on the N244 Form
Many self-represented litigants (“litigants in person”) struggle with:
- Using the wrong grounds for their application
- Failing to attach the right evidence or witness statement
- Missing court deadlines
- Not explaining their request in the way the judge expects
These mistakes can waste time, increase costs, or even lead to your application being struck out.
