I’m curious about this. The small claims court on this side of the pond has the power to authorise seizure of goods from people against whom judgements are awarded and these seizures are carried out by “sheriffs” (bailiffs) who have pretty wide ranging powers which include forcing entry into commercial premises and impounding vehicles. I’m surprised to hear you guys don’t have anything similar. It kind of begs the question, what’s the point of pursuing anything via the small claims court?
I wish it worked that way here, but unfortunately not so. The only time small claims works out here is if the defendant doesn’t want a judgement hanging over their head and showing up on a credit report. Most of them just don’t care!
