The enforcing of a CCJ (County Court Judgment) is a critical component of the civil justice system. Navigating through the choice of options as to which method of enforcement can be complex and daunting.
We have provided an overview of the various methods and procedures involved in enforcing judgments, focusing on the more common methods including Writs and Warrants of Control, Charging Orders, Third-Party Debt Orders, Attachment of Earnings Orders, Orders to Attend Court for Questioning, and Insolvency proceedings.
Writs of Control with High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs)
Securing Your Claim – Charging Orders
It’s not just a legal term; it’s a tool that helps turn a court judgment into a secured claim against a debtor’s property or assets. It’s about protecting your interests.
Interim and Final Orders, A Two-Step Process
It begins with an interim order, a temporary hold, followed by a final order, firmly securing your claim without forcing a property sale.
For charging orders over £15,000 the court may allow you to then apply for an order for sale to realise the interest in the property and get you repaid your judgment debt.
Claiming What’s Yours from Others – Third-Party Debt Orders
Attachment of Earnings Order – Direct from Wages
An Order to Attend Court for Questioning
The Last Resort – Insolvency
Understanding Insolvency
When other methods don’t fit the bill, insolvency steps in, it’s a significant move, often leading to bankruptcy or winding-up proceedings – a path taken when necessary.
We aim to inform, guide and support you through these legal avenues. Each step in enforcing a judgment is crucial, and we’re here to help you navigate these waters. For more personalised guidance or support, don’t hesitate to contact us.
