A High Court Enforcement Officer[1] is a prescribed position different from a High Court Enforcement Agent.[2] better known as a bailiff
Only a bailiff can enter a property and take control of goods.[3]
If the writ has a different address for the debtor, the writ is then a defective instrument and the debtor can sue for damages.[4][5][6]
If the name of the debtor is wrong, then the writ is defective, and the person whom the enforcement was taken against can sue.[5][6]
The person whom the enforcement action was taken against can make a third-party claim to controlled goods,[7][8] or to the money taken, whether it was cash or an electronic money transfer.[9]
