Part 3: Enforcement by Taking Control of Goods Schedule 13: Taking control of goods: amendments Section 67: Transfer of county court enforcement
346.This section transfers the district judge’s responsibility for the execution of warrants of control issued by a county court to any person authorised by or on behalf of the Lord Chancellor. (Section 85(2) of the County Courts Act 1984 refers to the “registrar” but, by virtue of section 74 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, the office of “registrar” is now abolished and replaced by “district judge”.) In practice, the warrants will be executed by county court bailiffs (who will continue to be known as county court bailiffs).
