Warrant of Execution
A warrant of execution
You can ask the county court bailiff to try to get back any amount up to £5,000. You cannot ask the county court to issue a warrant for more than this, but you can transfer your judgment to the High Court. See A writ of Fi Fa.
If you want to issue a warrant in the county court, you will need Form N323 (request to issue a warrant of execution). You can also get this form free of charge from any county court office. If you started your claim using Money Claim Online you can submit a request for a warrant of execution online. Log on to www.moneyclaim.gov.uk for further information.
