A Bill to set maximum time limits within which a bailiff’s warrant of possession appointment date must be granted; to make provision for alternative methods of executing warrants of possession; and for connected purposes.
The Bailiffs (Warrants of Possession) Bill would set maximum time limits for when a bailiff’s appointment date to execute a possession warrant must be granted, and it would allow alternative methods of carrying out possession warrants. In short, it aims to make eviction enforcement clearer and to provide options beyond traditional bailiffs.
The Bill is progressing through the Commons and has reached the second reading stage; further stages would follow if it progresses.
