The Taking Control of Goods legislation

The taking control of goods (TCG) procedure consists of two different processes:

  1. •

    TCG—this replaced the old regime of writs of fieri facias and warrants of execution in respect of enforcing judgment debts

  2. •

    commercial rent arrears recovery (CRAR)—this replaced the old regime of distress for rent in respect of commercial rent arrears

This Practice Note is concerned only with the TCG procedure. For guidance on CRAR, see Practice Note: Commercial rent arrears recovery (CRAR).

The TCG procedure is governed by a number of interrelated pieces of legislation:

  1. •

    Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (TCEA 2007)

  2. •

    The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013, SI 2013/1894 (TCG Regulations)

  3. •

    The Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014, SI 2014/1 (Fees Regulations)

  4. •

    Certification of Enforcement Agents Regulations 2014, SI 2014/421 (Certification Regulations)

  5. •

    CPR 83–85

Together, this legislation is a largely self-contained procedural code for all aspects of the TCG procedure.
