Enforcement agents awake
Two sets of CPR amendment rules (SIs 2020/747/751 for the third and fourth respectively) have arrived with PDs for each and inspiring updates 122 and 123. Let’s have a look at what is effective on 23 August 2020 and which is almost exclusively devoted to possessions. There’s a feast of material for later on, mainly 1 October 2020. Watch this space.
The 23 August 2020 is the day that enforcement agents awake from their slumber. It is the day on which the stay on possession proceedings and execution of possession orders (see ‘Civil way’, NLJ 19 June 2020, p17) is lifted and the bar on taking control of goods at a dwelling (see ‘Civil way’, NLJ 8 May 2020, p24) comes to an end. For business premises in England, the enforcement of forfeiture and re-entry rights on the ground of rent arrears (see ‘Civil way’, NLJ 3 July 2020, p17) presently remain paralysed until 30 September 2020.
