If you have been able to determine that your debtor has assets, then an individual known as a Bailiff or a High Court Enforcement Officer (formerly known as a Sheriff) can be instructed to seize the debtor's assets and to sell those assets at auction. The proceeds of this sale (after deduction of expenses) are passed to the creditor so that the debt can be paid. However it should be noted that certain assets are protected, and cannot be removed for sale. Bailiffs work in the County Court, and this process is known in the County Court as a Warrant of Execution. The equivalent process in the High Court is known as a Writ of fieri facias (or fi fa) and is carried out by High Court Enforcement Officers.
