Money Recovery from India from Jordan: how it works
We review the contract, invoices, shipping and payment records, and send a legal notice. If payment does not follow, we file the appropriate proceedings after pre-institution mediation, or an insolvency application where the debtor is a company with an undisputed debt.
Where an arbitration award exists, we file for enforcement in the High Court with jurisdiction. Recovered money is remitted to Jordan through banking channels.
Before filing, we check the Indian party's company records and any other litigation, which helps choose the remedy most likely to produce payment.
Fertiliser and phosphate contracts often involve large letters of credit; where a document discrepancy has delayed payment, we review the documentary credit terms alongside the sale contract to find who bears the loss.
We also advise on demurrage claims when an Indian buyer delays taking delivery at port.
What clients in Jordan should know
- Keep a written reconciliation of balances.
- Do not let the three-year limitation period run out.
