Got a judgment worth several hundred thousand pounds? Need to seize an airliner that is only going to be in the country for a matter of hours? Want to avoid causing an international incident? Who ya gonna call?

The questions that should be asked by the MoJ and the enforcement industry are as follows: What sort of industry do we want to be part of, and what should we expect of enforcement agents, the companies that employ them and the associations that represent them? This was the situation that was facing a particular creditor and their lawyers - and of course it was an easy call to make. Send for Shergroup. Chris Bell, Shergroup Policy Advisor and Head of Public Affairs, tells the story of what happened in the aftermath of a frantic call from lawyers acting for a judgment creditor with a delicate problem

The background of the situation was this. An American-based multi-national company specialising in providing aircraft spares, airliner maintenance, airworthiness certification checks and airport-based ground crew was owed a sum totalling almost three-quarters of a million pounds by a certain African airline. Having obtained judgment in their local courts, however, the creditor company had still not been paid, and the creditor and their lawyers were desperately searching for a way to get their judgment enforced.

It became clear that this was not going to be an easy task, however, once the background of the case was fully investigated - not least because the debt was owed by Air Zimbabwe. For those who don't know, Air Zimbabwe is a company fully owned by the Zimbabwean Government - and its recent record in financial and operational matters was patchy to say the least.

In early 2011 it was estimated that the company's debts totalled approximately $US140m. In February 2011 flights to Johannesburg were suspended over the threat of likely impoundments of its planes by creditors due to a series of unpaid debts...

Shertalk dictates the future for busy lawyers
Shergroup's Transfer Service Prevents Landlords Losing Out On Vital Rental Income Shergroup is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation - a new digital dictation service that has been developed for time-strapped lawyers, harnessing the power of the web to cut their costs and enhance their productivity.

Entitled 'Shertalk', the new system enables clients to upload their dictations to a dedicated website and retrieve them once they have been transcribed. Dictation files that could be uploaded and transcribed in this way include legal letters, court transcripts, reports or client correspondence.

Shergroup Chief Executive Claire Sandbrook explained the reasons behind the development and rolling out of Shertalk:

"Most people can dictate at least seven times faster than they can type, so it makes economic...

'Occupy' evictions a success for Shergroup
Shergroup Security In Player Sponsorship Deal The latter part of 2011 saw several 'Occupy' Protests springing up at various locations. Although they initially sprung up mainly in the United States - those in cities such as New York and Oakland being particularly prominent and in the news - the phenomenon soon spread to this side of the Atlantic and a number of similar protests began to emerge in the UK.

Obviously the most high profile site in the UK was the one established outside St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London, but a number of other cities also saw camps springing up too.

One of these was in Bradford, where a number of protesters set up their tents and created a camp in Centenary Square in the centre of the city.

Initially these protesters were tolerated by locals and the powers that be in Bradford, but after a few days...

Dutch colleagues learning from the masters!!

Shergroup Parliamentary lunch an overwhelming successOver the past year Shergroup has been giving considerable assistance to the Koninklijke Beroepsorganisatie van Gerechtsdeurwaarders - the Dutch Royal Professional Organisation of Judicial Officers - with research they are doing into proposals to reform civil judgment enforcement law in the Netherlands.

Of course, this is something that we here in England and Wales have considerable recent experience of (and maybe one day we will actually get there), and with Claire Sandbrook (former chair of the HCEOA, former member of the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Group on Enforcement Service Delivery and current vice-chair of the ICM) and Chris Bell (former senior policy manager at the MoJ on civil enforcement policy) on board Shergroup are ideally placed to offer their assistance and the benefit of their experience.

The Dutch are currently reviewing their own laws on this matter, which apparently haven't been updated since 1838, and approached Shergroup for 'chapter and verse' on the current position in England and Wales and also for updates on current thinking as to the future of enforcement law and enforcement agent regulation within our own jurisdiction.

Over the past year we have helped advise the KBvG on matters such as powers of entry, exempt goods, process serving and the structure and organisation...
