Enforcement of Domestic and Foreign Judgments

We advise on the enforcement of domestic and foreign judgments. Our advice incorporates a review of the judgment secured, a clear explanation of enforcement options, a pragmatic cost / benefit analysis on enforcement within the jurisdiction, tracing, and asset searches, as well as timely enforcement applications in the Irish courts.

Enforcement options include:

• Instructing court sheriffs to seize and sell assets
• Publishing notification of judgments in the Register of Judgments
• Registration of judgment mortgage over relevant property
• Issuing and progressing instalment proceedings in the District Court.
• Examining debtors and related persons, such as company directors, as to the whereabouts of assets to help with the execution of judgments
• Employing enquiry, searching and tracing agents to trace and verify data on debtors and their property
• Securing garnishee orders
• Appointing receivers by way of equitable execution
• Court applications to charge shares held by a debtor
• Issuing and progressing well charging proceedings in respect of property
• Bankruptcy
• Notices to wind up pursuant to the Companies Acts
• Advising on the enforcement of historic / assigned judgments
