Transfer Up Any County Court Judgment for over £600 (including costs) may be transferred to the High Court for enforcement, if the creditor chooses to use execution against the debtor’s goods as a method of enforcement (except where it is a judgment arising from a regulated agreement under the Consumer Credit). FiFa Warrant The FiFa warrant is the High Court equivalent of the County Courts Warrant of Execution – although its powers are considerably greater. It provides a command to seize/impound and sell debtor's goods and chattels to the value of the judgment debt, plus 8% per annum interest and costs. Don’t Let The Courts Discourage You From This Important Step Many court users are discouraged from transferring up because of the unfamiliarity of the format of the High Court warrant and how it should be addressed and worded. If this happens to you don’t worry. As High Court Officers we will take this step for you. Because we understand the paper work, we can carry out this service for you or your organisation and manage the timetable for this procedure from start to finish.

Will I get my transfer fee back?

When a High Court Warrant is issued there is a cost of execution fee of £111.75 which is payable, this fee is to cover your issuing costs. However if the High Court Enforcement Officer is not successful in obtaining payment, the issuing fees are not refundable.

After my judgment has been issued and my transfer complete what happens next?

A High Court Warrant will be issued to High Court Enforcement Officer who will attend the Defendant premises, usually within 72 Hours of the receipt of the warrant at their office. They will then report to you direct, as to the action which has been taken.

How long does my warrant last?

The warrant has a life span of 1 year. If the defendant is paying by instalments, or the year expires, we can make an application to the Court for the same to be extended for a further period. There is a further fee charged by the court of £45:00 to extend the warrant.

What happens if the warrant is unexecuted?

Should it be the case that the warrant can not be executed, for a variety of reasons, the defendant is insolvent, bankrupt, in liquidation or moved away and can not be traced. A maximum fixed fee of £60.00 + Vat would be charged as before.
