Why Judgment Enforcement is Critical for Your Business

Once a court has issued a judgment in your favour, it is vital to understand that the process is not automatically concluded with the court’s decision. If the losing party fails to voluntarily comply with the court’s judgment, your business may face difficulties in recovering the owed sum or enforcing other types of judgments such as injunctions or orders for specific performance.

In the UK, businesses are entitled to take proactive steps to enforce a judgment if the losing party fails to comply. Whether through seizing assets, garnishing wages, or using other available enforcement methods, it is crucial to act swiftly and decisively to recover funds and preserve your company’s interests.

Our Approach to Judgment Enforcement

At eLegal Consultants, we offer a multi-faceted approach to judgment enforcement, tailored to the unique circumstances of your case and the nature of your debtor. Our service includes, but is not limited to:

Writ of Control

A Writ of Control is a common enforcement method used to recover money from an individual or company. We help you obtain this writ, allowing enforcement agents (bailiffs) to seize and sell assets to satisfy the debt. The funds are then distributed to you, the creditor.

Charging Orders and Orders for Sale

In cases where the debtor owns property, we can apply for a Charging Order to secure a debt against real estate or other assets. If payment is still not made, an Order for Sale can be requested to force the sale of the property to satisfy the judgment.

Third-Party Debt Orders

A Third-Party Debt Order allows you to collect money directly from a third party who holds funds or assets for the debtor. This may include a debtor’s bank, employer, or other financial institutions. It is an effective tool when the debtor has liquid assets that can be accessed.

Attachment of Earnings Orders

In cases where the debtor is employed, we can apply for an Attachment of Earnings Order, allowing deductions directly from the debtor’s wages until the judgment debt is satisfied.

Bankruptcy and Winding-Up Petitions

When it becomes clear that the debtor is insolvent, our team can assist you in seeking the bankruptcy of an individual debtor or the winding-up of a company. These proceedings are powerful tools for forcing a debtor to meet their obligations.

Injunctions and Specific Performance Orders

In cases where the debtor is refusing to perform certain actions mandated by the court, we assist in obtaining Injunctions and Orders for Specific Performance to compel compliance. These remedies are often necessary in commercial contracts and disputes over deliverables.
