Through our analysis of over 400 High Court enforcement cases, Shergroup has established a consistent 22-day standard for Writ enforcement. This metric isn’t just a number – it represents our commitment to efficient, professional enforcement services. Here’s how we achieve and maintain this standard. This is because Shergroup is all based on data – and admittedly sometimes we have to take time to collate that data from imperfect systems one of which is the time it takes to transfer a possession order to enforcement professionals who can enforce it. Despite our best efforts to inform and encourage the UK’s Ministry of Justice to simplify the system of enforcing a possession order, the Government has failed to help claimants enforce their possession orders more efficiently. So in an imperfect and illogical system Shergroup has created workarounds to help claimants achieve better outcomes. This blog and ones like it in our Transfer Times Series are based on data we have collated since 2020.
