The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013

Made: 26-07-2013 | Laid: 30-07-2013 | Forced: 06-04-2014

Overview


The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013 add additional provision to Part 3 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. They set out guidance on procedures to be followed by enforcement agents when exercising powers granted by law, executing warrants or writs of control, or acting upon instructions from commercial premises landlords seeking to recover overdue rent.

This Statutory Instrument provides a comprehensive set of reforms designed to support Part 3 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (TCEA), particularly Schedule 12. These reforms align with the Coalition's pledge to safeguard individuals from aggressive and unscrupulous bailiffs, as outlined in the 2010 Programme for Government and the 2013 Mid-Term Review. The aim is to uphold the rights of debtors by shielding them from undue harassment during the debt collection processes while simultaneously safeguarding the rights of creditors through the maintenance of a robust and efficient enforcement system.
