Plain English
If a court has ordered someone to pay a fine or compensation for a minor offence and they haven’t paid, this form lets the court issue a warrant to enforce the debt. It is the paperwork the creditor (or their solicitor) completes to start that process.
Submission Date
- Filing date: The warrant must be applied for within the enforcement period set by the court, usually 30 days after the judgment becomes final, unless a longer period is granted.
- Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
- Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
