The bailiff may recover the compliance stage fee in respect of each enforcement power being recovered.[1]
The bailiff may recover the Enforcement Stage fee only once regardless of the number of enforcement powers being recovered,[2] where those enforcement powers can reasonably be exercised at the same time.[3]
If a bailiff has multiplied the enforcement stage fee by the number of enforcement powers, (or warrants for unpaid traffic contravention debts) the debtor may apply for a detailed assessment hearing,[4][5] and ask for costs,[6] or be paid to represent as a litigant in person.[7][8]
If the person the money was taken from is not the debtor, he is unable to apply for a detailed assessment, instead, he may recover the money taken by making a claim in the small claims track.[9]
