Bailiffs (Warrants of Possession) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill regulates how bailiffs enforce court orders for possession of property (typically homes or land). It likely sets out rules about when bailiffs can enter properties, what notice they must give to occupants, and what protections exist for vulnerable people. The legislation aims to standardise bailiff conduct and prevent abusive enforcement practices while ensuring court orders can still be properly executed. This is particularly relevant in eviction cases, mortgage repossessions, and rent arrears situations.

Presented by Sir Christopher Chope.
