Court Procedures Rules 2006

For rule 2218 (2), an enforcement officer may appoint a real estate agent

after—

seeking expressions of interest from real estate agents to market the land and conduct the sale; and

considering any expressions of interest received, and the qualifications and experience of an agent who expresses an interest; or

from a panel established under subrule (2).

The sheriff may establish a panel of real estate agents with appropriate qualifications and experience to market and sell land under a seizure and sale order.

For subrule (2), the sheriff must—

call for expressions of interest from real estate agents who wish to be included on the panel; and

may arrange for enforcement officers to appoint agents from the panel—

on rotation; or

because the agent’s business is concentrated in the area where land to be sold is situated; or

for any other reason the sheriff considers relevant.

An expression of interest from a real estate agent must include the agent’s fees or other remuneration, and the agent’s proposed arrangements, for the marketing and sale of land under this rule.
