Nigel Farage Faces Unsatisfied £9,400 County Court Judgment, Vows Appeal

A County Court judgment for £9,400 remains unpaid against Nigel Farage, and his party says he will appeal the decision.

The judgment was entered on 13 June 2024 after a claim was filed against Farage Media's registered address in Leigh on Sea. The claim was for a debt under £10,000, processed through the County Court Online service, which handles the former small claims track. As of the latest public record, the judgment is marked unsatisfied, meaning the £9,400 has not been paid. An unsatisfied entry stays on the register for six years and can be viewed by anyone for a £6 fee. The claimant had 14 days to respond after the papers were served; failure to reply can lead to a default judgment.

The judgment amount is exactly £9,400, and no payment has been recorded. A Reform UK spokesman said the judgment is being appealed and the party expects to win. The spokesman said Farage claims he never saw the claim because it was sent to the wrong address. To challenge the judgment, Farage's lawyers have applied to have it set aside, a formal request to cancel the court’s finding. The claim was submitted using the online money claim service, which allows anyone to pursue debts up to £10,000 without a solicitor.

An unsatisfied judgment can harm a person’s credit score and make lenders wary of extending new loans. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the creditor may pursue enforcement actions such as wage attachments or bailiff visits. The judgment does not reveal the identity of the claimant or the underlying dispute, leaving the nature of the debt unclear. Observers will watch the appeal hearing to see whether the judgment stands or is overturned. Political analysts note that unresolved legal judgments can affect public trust, though no direct link to electoral outcomes has been shown.
