An attorney (barrister or solicitor) is usually required to enforce a court judgment in England and Wales, except those involving small sums of money. Enforcement proceedings are usually made by application to the county court or a high court. The application must include a copy of the judgment and details about the remedy and any pending appeals. An initial “charge order” may be made without notice to the judgment debtor. This order precludes the debtor from disposing of assets. In order to obtain a final order, notice must be given.
