Enforcement fees are prescribed in regulations.[1][2]
The fees apply according to what enforcement steps the bailiff has taken, and you have a right to apply to the court to dispute them. This is called a detailed assessment.[3]
The enforcement steps are the Compliance Stage which attracts a fixed fee. The Enforcement stage(s), when the bailiff attends, which attracts a prescribed fee, and a Sale Stage which attracts a fee when the bailiff has removed controlled goods.
If the bailiff sells goods at auction to pay the debt, the bailiffs fees and charges may be recovered from proceeds of sale.[4]
