High Court Enforcement
Enforced by applications under Section 42 of the Country Courts Act 1984
If you have an Order for Possession against residential or commercial tenants, then it can be transferred to the High Court to receive permission under Section 42 of the Country Courts Act 1984.
Once permission is granted by the Court the order can be transferred to High Court for a writ to be sealed and enforced by agents working on the authority of an officer approved by the Lord Chancellors office.
Court Order for Possessions
With permission granted by the Court, if an Order for Possession against residential/commercial tenants occurs, it could be transferred to High Court for implementation – although this must be requested during court stages.
High Court then issues a Writ of Possession after a judgment for land or property possession is awarded. If the occupants are considered trespassers this can be transferred to High Court for enforcement.
Combined Orders
If there is judgement for money and possession you can apply for combined writs to be issued. This will allow the agents seize goods to discharge the debt in addition to recovering possession of the premises.
The Efficiency of Using HC
Although there is the option of removing a tenant through County Court Bailiffs this can often can take 8-12 weeks longer than for a Writ of Possession to be obtained and executed. However, a by going through a High Court Enforcement Agent it will usually take much less time, allowing you to get your property back in a shorter timescale.
Moving Faster Through The Process
By going through High Court Enforcement Agents to remove tenants you save yourself from losing more rent and the tenant can cause less issues by not giving them the time to do so. Writs of control can be completed as soon as the Notice of Enforcement ends, and if the debtor has not settled the debt in full. Through our appointed High Court Enforcement Officer, Writs of Control and Writs of Possession issued by the High Courts are in turn issued to ERE.
