Securing compliance with court judgments, collecting unpaid debts and enforcing contractual, property and regulatory remedies in England. A solicitor applies to the county court or High Court for enforcement, drafts and issues applications for charging orders, third‑party debt orders, warrants of control and committal proceedings, instructs High Court Enforcement Officers or certificated bailiffs, pursues Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR) where available, seeks freezing orders and orders to obtain information, and represents clients at enforcement hearings. The Civil Procedure Rules, High Court practice and specialist enforcement routes shape forms, notices and the available remedies; solicitors liaise with HCEOs, bailiffs, insolvency practitioners and regulators such as the CQC and Ofsted.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor manages specified procedural regimes: making applications under the Civil Procedure Rules, seeking writs or warrants of control, applying for charging orders and third‑party debt orders, instructing High Court Enforcement Officers or certificated enforcement agents, and engaging with insolvency or asset‑tracing procedures. The work requires coordination with courts, enforcement agents and regulators and precise compliance with prescribed forms and mandatory notice requirements.
