Can bailiffs attend a directors home address when the registered office address is elsewhere?

Bailiffs may only take control of the goods belonging to the debtor,^[1] where the debtor carries on a trade or business.^[2]

A director is a person, and is a completely separate legal entity to the company.

If a bailiff attends a director at home and takes control of goods, then the director may make a third party claim,^[3] and recovers damages.^[4][5]

If bailiffs are pestering a director at home about a company debt, the director, or his family may apply for an injunction against the creditor.^[6][7]

If the debtor company keeps goods at another premises not specified on the writ of control, the bailiff may take control of them at those premises, but me must apply for that authority separately.^[8]
