Enforcement of court orders covers the steps taken to compel compliance with judgments, orders or decrees issued by England and Wales courts. A solicitor in this area helps clients recover money or secure performance by pursuing methods such as warrants of control, charging orders or attachment of earnings, and by instructing enforcement agents or High Court enforcement officers. They draft and serve the necessary notices, monitor responses, and advise on deadlines and potential challenges, including applications to suspend or set aside enforcement.
