Form 4 – Consent to Judgment

What this form is for

• • You agree to a judgment without needing a full trial or hearing.
• • The opposing party in the case agrees that you should be judged on specific terms.
• • It speeds up the court process because everyone is already aligned on the outcome.
• • Use this when settlement discussions have reached an agreement ready for the judge to sign off.

• • The form itself doesn't dictate *what* the judgment is—that must be detailed in the body of the document.
• • If you are represented by a solicitor, they may require specific annotations on your signature.
• • Not confirmed in official source: There might be variations if this relates to a specific type of claim (e.g., landlord/tenant).
