What are specified claims in the County Court?

• A. Unspecified claims for damages
• B. Claims for a specific sum of money (debt claims)
• C. Personal injury claims
• D. Injunction claims

Answer: (B)

Specified claims are those for a fixed sum of money. In the County Court, a claim for a definite amount—such as a debt—is treated as a specified money claim because the monetary amount is known at the outset. The option describing claims for a specific sum of money (debt claims) matches this idea exactly.

By contrast, personal injury claims usually involve unliquidated damages, where the final amount depends on assessment, not a pre-set sum, and injunction claims seek a non-monetary remedy rather than a fixed monetary amount.
