A defendant must apply for leave to defend within a strict time, and the application must meet specific requirements.
We act for customers and businesses in these matters, and in complaints about bank conduct before the bank, the Banking Mohtasib or State Bank channels.

Questions clients ask
What is leave to defend?
In a banking suit, you need the court's permission to contest the claim. Missing the deadline or filing a weak application can lead to a quick decree.
Can I settle with the bank?
Often yes. We can help you negotiate and record a settlement properly.
Where do I complain about bank charges or service?
First with the bank, and then with the Banking Mohtasib where the matter is within its remit.
