What is the N1 form used for?

• A. To file a defense.
• B. To issue proceedings.
• C. To request mediation.
• D. To apply for a strike-out.

Answer: (B)

The N1 form is the document used to start civil proceedings by issuing a claim in the county court or High Court. It collects the essential details: who the parties are, what the claim is about, the amount or remedy sought, and a concise statement of the facts. Once the form is issued, the court serves it on the defendant to begin the dispute.

So it is the best answer because the purpose of the N1 is to initiate the claim, not to respond to a claim, seek mediation, or apply for a strike-out. Those steps use different forms or procedures.
