Taking control of goods

Copyright © 2024 LexisNexis

What is taking control of goods?

The current procedure for taking control of a judgment debtor's goods to sell them and apply the sale proceeds in discharge of the judgment debt is that set out in section 62 and Schedule 12 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (TCEA 2007) which came into force in April 2014.

This regime of taking control of goods (TCG) replaced the old system of execution against goods (writs of fieri facias and warrants of execution).

Taking control of goods is a procedure for enforcing judgment debts but is also relevant for landlords seeking to recover arrears of commercial rent (commercial rent arrears recovery, aka CRAR), with the legislative framework including additional specific provisions for CRAR. For practical guidance specific to CRAR, see Practice Note: Commercial rent arrears recovery (CRAR).
