Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 6 years
- Trigger
- The date the judgment took effect
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- s 13(2): the court may give leave if satisfied that the person seeking to enforce is entitled to do so and the person against whom the order is sought is liable to satisfy the judgment; may order the trial of any issue needing decision; and may do so on terms as to costs or otherwise.
- This is a procedural gateway, not a bar - but it is a hard stop on enforcing without leave. Leave is also required in the other cases in s 13(1)(b) to (h), including where the judgment is subject to a condition, where the property is in a receiver's hands, and where the person enforcing or the person liable was not personally a party. RSC O 46 r 2 allows most of these applications to be dealt with by a registrar. Note also the CJEA s 15 suspension order power and RSC O 46 r 3 (leave for judgments in actions between partners).
