Unfortunately winning at trial, at an interim application or even reaching agreement on a consent order, may not mean that you receive the sums due to you.

Obtaining an award of damages and/or costs may only be the first step in getting what you are entitled to. Where the party ordered to pay damages and/or costs fails to make payment by the date determined by the court, the party awarded the damages and/or costs will have to apply to the court to enforce the judgment. A court will not automatically enforce any judgment or order: the burden is on the judgment creditor to take enforcement steps.

If it is necessary to enforce the Court Order, depending on the circumstances may mean a different approach from obtaining a charging order over a property, instructing bailiffs or commencing bankruptcy or winding up proceedings. These are just some of the options open to you to achieve the best recovery.
