County Court Judgment

[Bazile]

What legal recourse has someone got , when a defendant fails to pay up following a County Court Judgement ?

[agchristie]

Apply for a Warrant of Execution to send in bailiffs or if known to be employed ( not self employed) apply for an Attachment of Earnings order?

All the options are outlined here:

[Barmaid]

Options are outlined by Chris. There is one additional option - again dependent on the amount and that is to petition for bankruptcy. It really depends on the size of the judgement as to which option is best though.

[Bazile]

This question is on behalf of a colleague of mine .

I believe the amount is aprrox £450

Thanks all

[Buenchico]

^^^ That rules out the bankruptcy option then because the debt(s) must be at least £5000 before a court will recognise a petition for bankruptcy:

and it also excludes the sheriffs ( over fife hundred I think )

but you could send in the bailiffs
