Enforcement of judgments covers the steps you take after a court has decided who owes money or who must do something. It includes mechanisms to recover sums due, such as a judgment creditor applying to levy execution, obtaining a writ of control, garnishee orders, charging orders on property, and applying for attachments of earnings or after-the-event orders. A solicitor in this area helps prepare and issue the correct enforcement applications, advises on the appropriate method for the debtor and assets, and guides the process through court procedures and any related deadlines. This work is shaped by court rules, asset availability, and debtor cooperation through remedies designed to secure payment or performance.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Enforcement involves selecting and pursuing precise remedies, including writs of control, charging orders, third-party debt orders, attaching earnings, and warrants of execution. The solicitor handles the procedural steps, serves court documents, identifies assets, liaises with bailiffs or enforcement officers, and responds to any debtor challenges or appeals, all within Civil Procedure Rules and relevant enforcement provisions.
