What this usually involves

Winning a judgment and being paid are two different things. Enforcement solicitors assess what the debtor actually owns and choose the method most likely to produce payment.

  • Investigating the debtor's assets and trading position
  • Choosing between High Court enforcement, charging orders and third party debt orders
  • Attachment of earnings and insolvency as a last resort

Common questions

Which enforcement method works best?
It depends on the debtor's assets: writs of control suit trading businesses with stock, while charging orders suit debtors who own property.
Can enforcement costs be recovered?
Many enforcement costs and further interest can be added to the judgment debt, though recovery still depends on the debtor's means.
