+ Changes in terminology: References in the CPR to "a county court" are changed to "the County Court." The defendant's home court is be amended: the defendant's place of residence or place of business will now be used to establish their local hearing centre. "Preferred court" is amended to "preferred hearing centre” “Designated money claim” has been removed from the rules Proceedings no longer “transferred” but “sent” between hearing centres

+ Issuing claims No longer limited by boundaries therefore a possession claim may be issued in any court hearing centre BUT: all Part 7 claims must still be sent to CCMCC (Salford) bulk issue and MCOL still dealt with at Northampton (now renamed County Court Business Centre) Application etc must be sent to either CCMCC or CCBC until it is sent to a hearing centre Part 8 Claims may be started at any County Court hearing centre No changes to PCOL claims

+ Streamlining of process: Claims issued at CCMCC or the CCBC will remain there up to the point at which a hearing is required or the claimant wishes to enforce a judgment other than by way of a warrant Cases still sent to hearing centres at DQ stage (as now)

+ Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 The Act sets out what goods an enforcement agent can and cannot seize and sell, how they may enter a property, what fees they may charge and what notice they may send. This Act does not affect County Court bailiffs Abolishes distress for rent and replaces it with a new out of court regime: “Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery” Certificated Bailiffs must meet new criteria and be trained before certification

+ Changes in terminology OLD TERMINOLOGY Warrants of execution Writs of fieri facias (Fi Fa) Levy Walking possession agreement Judgment creditor Judgment debtor Certificated bailiffs High Court Enforcement officer County Court bailiff NEW TERMINOLOGY Warrants of control Writs of control Taking control of goods Controlled goods agreement Judgment creditor or creditor Judgment debtor or debtor Certificated enforcement agents Remains the same Remains the same
