Delivery of Goods Order enforcement through the High Court – we transfer your order up and recover the specific goods under a Writ of Delivery.
If a court has ordered that specific goods be returned to you – for example where a seller failed to deliver, or a party won’t hand back goods after a cancelled or defaulted agreement – and the other side still won’t comply, the order can be enforced through the High Court.
Strikes High Court Enforcement transfers your Delivery of Goods Order up to the High Court and, through our in-house Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer, obtains a Writ of Delivery to recover the specific goods and return them to you.
A Writ of Delivery is a High Court order that authorises an Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer to recover specific goods held by one party (the defendant) that legally belong to another (the claimant), and return them.
There are two forms. A standard Writ of Delivery allows the defendant to return the goods or pay their assessed value instead. A Writ of Specific Delivery requires the actual goods to be returned, with no option to pay their value – used where the goods themselves are what matters. We can advise which applies to your order.
A Writ of Delivery can be used to recover a wide range of specific goods, including:
Once you hold a court judgment confirming your entitlement to the goods and the other party has failed to comply, the order can be enforced in the High Court. The process includes:
You first obtain a court judgment confirming your legal entitlement to the goods — usually through the County Court.
If the defendant fails to comply, we apply for a Writ of Delivery to enforce the judgment.
The High Court issues the writ to our named Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer, authorising enforcement.
Our AHCEO issues a formal demand for delivery and, where the defendant still refuses, attends to take control of and remove the goods.

A Writ of Delivery recovers specific goods that belong to you; a Writ of Control recovers a money debt by taking control of and selling the debtor’s assets. If you are owed money rather than goods, see our Judgment Enforcement service.
If the goods are no longer available, a standard Writ of Delivery may allow the defendant to pay their assessed value instead. A Writ of Specific Delivery requires the actual goods to be returned.
You can apply for a Writ of Delivery without a solicitor, though legal advice can help ensure the application is correctly prepared. We can guide you through the enforcement process once you hold the order.
There is a court fee to issue the writ, plus our enforcement fees. We provide a clear breakdown before you instruct us.
