Enforcement of Judgments
Understanding the Need for Enforcement of Judgments
Obtaining a judgment or court order against your debtor (now referred to as the judgment debtor) is an important step, but it doesn't guarantee payment of the judgment debt.
In cases where the judgment debtor fails or refuses to pay, you may need to pursue the enforcement of the judgment to recover the debt.
This requires careful consideration of the debtor's income and assets before proceeding to the next level.
Challenges of Self-Enforcement and Seeking Legal Assistance
While you have the option to enforce the judgment yourself through the collections department of the court, this process can be lengthy and may not always yield favorable results unless you have insider knowledge. Alternatively, you can engage a solicitor, but the court only awards a percentage of the solicitor's actual legal costs, potentially leaving you out of pocket. It is advisable to seek independent advice if you intend to pursue the enforcement of a debtor judgment on your own.
