Civil and family law

Enforcing civil judgments

Obtaining a judgment is an important step, but securing compliance may require further action. We help you review what the court ordered and your options when an obligation remains unmet or enforcement is brought against you.

How we can help

Identifying the enforceable obligation

We review the enforceable document, its procedural status and the outstanding obligation. We distinguish the principal amount, any potentially recoverable additional sums and duties to act, deliver something or refrain from an action.

Preparing enforcement

We organise the documents and requests needed to seek court-ordered compliance. Where information about assets or income is available, we assess its relevance and the lawful routes for obtaining further financial information.

Objections and procedural issues

If enforcement has been brought against you, we examine the demand and any payments or circumstances that should be considered. We assess available objections and procedural issues arising as the case progresses.

Following up compliance

We review responses and sums recovered to determine the next appropriate request. We explain the procedural position and agree the scope of any step extending beyond the work originally anticipated for your case.

Frequently asked questions

Is enforcement only used to recover money?

Not necessarily. Its scope depends on the obligation recorded in the enforceable document and the applicable procedure for requiring compliance.

What if the other party has already paid part of the amount?

That must be documented and taken into account when determining what remains due. Bring transfers, receipts and any agreements relating to those payments.
