Civil enforcement information

About Bailiff Advice

The website focuses principally on enforcement in England and Wales. It does not present itself as a court, government body, enforcement company or regulated law firm.

Editorial approach

The reconstructed content distinguishes debt collection from statutory enforcement, County Court warrants from High Court writs, money enforcement from possession enforcement and England-and-Wales procedure from Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Limits

General website information cannot determine whether enforcement is lawful in an individual case. The actual judgment, order, notice, warrant, writ, debt type, ownership evidence, procedural history and jurisdiction must be checked.

Review status
