Common confusion points
Mistaking 'Execution Order' for the initial 'Judgment' itself.
Not clearly defining *why* the specific chattel is being seized (e.g., debt repayment vs. damages).
Assuming the local Garda station handles everything; filing with the Courts Service is key.
Failing to specify which court issued the original order.
