Colm Curran will describe the process for achieving judgment in cases which go by default - i.e. judgment is obtained in the court office without the need for a court hearing. I will also describe what happens when a case is defended in each instance and where a court hearing of some sort is required. Finally Colm will give some general pointers on the types of defences commonly encountered and typical delays which one may expect.

The seminar is intended to provide a general outline of remedies available to enforce a judgment, their origins and the circumstances in which they might be invoked. In the seminar Eoin Morris will commence with the identification of the various forms of enforcing a judgment and the root of their power in law and in equity. The origins of the enforcement of judgments: The “legal” remedies and their origins, The Sheriff, Orders for Possession, Sequestration, Charging Orders, Attachment and Committal, Garnishee proceedings, The registration and enforcement of a Judgment as a Judgment Mortgage, Bankruptcy. The “equitable” remedies and their origins, Equitable Execution: The appointment of a receiver by way of Equitable execution. The enforcement of judgments obtained in European Member States other than Ireland. It will also identify the various types of Defendants in which the above methods of enforcing a judgment are applicable. Eoin will then identify Orders that may be made in aid of execution.
