Some judgments cannot be enforced. For example, if the defendant is penniless or his whereabouts are unknown.
Bailiffs carry out execution upon the applicant's instructions.
They are not responsible for tracing the whereabouts of the debtors or to ensure that the sum owed to the applicant is recovered. There is no guarantee that the Bailiffs will get anything, but the judgment creditor has to bear the execution costs incurred. Applicants must be careful in giving instructions to the Bailiff because if goods are seized from the wrong persons then claims for wrongful seizure will be against the applicant and not the Bailiff. Bailiffs execute orders and judgments of the court. You can apply for a Writ of Execution depending on the nature of your case.
