High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO) & Enforcement Agents


High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) have greater powers than other court officers, including County Court Bailiffs. Our High Court Enforcement Officer is authorised by the Lord Chancellor’s office to enforce High Court Writs.

The HCEO manages all our Enforcement Agents. Our Enforcement Agents are certificated and will make the visits to enforce the writ assigned to that case. All our Enforcement Agents have a good knowledge of their local areas. These resources together provide national coverage throughout England and Wales.
