Obtaining a Bailiff Warrant for Eviction
After you apply
The court passes the warrant to its bailiffs, who send the occupier a notice of the eviction date at least 14 days before.
High Court option
With the court's permission the order can be transferred to the High Court for enforcement by an HCEO, which is often faster.
