Civil Judgments Enforcement Act 2004

As soon as practicable after seizing personal property under a property (seizure and sale) order the sheriff must give a written notice of seizure to the judgment debtor and, if the person who has custody of the property when it is seized is not the judgment debtor, to that person.

The notice must —

name the judgment debtor; and

state the judgment debt as at the date of the notice; and

describe the personal property seized; and

explain that the property has been seized and that unless the judgment debt is paid, the property will be sold to recover it; and

contain any other information that is prescribed by the regulations.

If the sheriff releases any personal property from seizure the sheriff must serve any person on whom a notice of seizure was served with a notice of release.
