Which information is NOT required to be included in Form N1?

• A. Defendant name and address
• B. Date of birth of claimant
• C. Claimant name and address
• D. Preferred County Court hearing centre

Answer: (B)

This question tests what information is required on Form N1 to start a civil claim in the County Court. The form must identify who is involved and how to contact them, and it needs to be routed to the right court. Therefore the defendant’s name and address are essential so the court knows who is being sued and where to send documents. The claimant’s name and address are also essential so the court can identify the person bringing the claim and communicate with them. The box for the preferred County Court hearing centre helps direct the claim to the correct venue, which is important for allocation and scheduling.

The date of birth of the claimant is not required on Form N1. It does not affect the court’s ability to issue the claim or locate the parties, and it isn’t needed to route or process the case.
