Tribunal Awards

Since 1st April 2009 a record of Tribunal Awards has been held by RTL as part of the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines. The awards relate to individuals, companies or businesses and are added to the Register only when action has been taken through the courts to enforce the payment.

Payment
If the amount is fully repaid after one calendar month from the date of award and evidence is provided to the court who notify RTL, the entry will be marked as ‘satisfied’ on the Register where it will remain for the statutory six year period from the date of award. If fully repaid within one calendar month from the date of award and evidence is provided to the court who notify RTL, the record will be removed from the Register. The defendant can also apply to the court for a Certificate of Satisfaction or a Certificate of Cancellation, whichever is appropriate, enclosing the court fee of £15 (cheque/postal order payable to HMCTS). Part payments of an award debt are not recorded on the Register.

Removal
Details of awards remain on the Register for a statutory period of six years from the date of the award, unless set-aside or reversed by the court, or the amount is fully repaid within one calendar month from the date of the award when the court will notify RTL that the entry should be removed from the Register.

If application is made to set-aside the award, a court fee of £303 is required (cheque/postal order payable to HMCTS). Any defendant experiencing difficulty in paying court fees should ask court staff for advice.

Amendment
If a defendant feels that details of a registration are inaccurate, a query should be raised directly with the relevant court who will investigate and, if appropriate, send any amendment to RTL. Upon receipt of their response, the Register will be amended by the end of the next working day.
