The Family Court Warrants (Specification of Orders) Order 2014
Section 125A(3) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (‘the 1980 Act’) allows the Lord Chancellor to specify provisions under which warrants of arrest, commitment, detention or distress can be issued by a justice of the peace or specify court orders of any description. The effect of such a specification is that a warrant of arrest, commitment, detention or distress issued by a justice of the peace under a specified provision or for the enforcement of a specified court order may be executed by a civilian enforcement officer.
