In our previous blog, we provided a summary of enforcement options once a
judgment is obtained from the court.
In our next series of business debt recovery blogs, our dispute resolution solicitors will
provide more information about these enforcement options, starting
with enforcing a money judgment by taking control of goods.
Advantages of taking control of goods
Taking control of goods is a very popular method of enforcing a
money judgment.
It requires the issue of a court document (in the High Court, a
writ of control and the County Court, a warrant of control) which
commands an enforcement agent (usually a High Court enforcement
officer (HCEO) or a County Court bailiff) to seize and sell a
judgment debtor's goods and raise funds to satisfy the
judgment debt.
