Article 143 Proceedings for recovery orders in England and Wales or Northern IrelandI1
United Kingdom
Proceedings for a recovery order pursuant to the registration of an external order may be taken by the enforcement authority in the High Court against any person who the authority thinks holds recoverable property.
The enforcement authority must serve the claim form—
on the respondent, and
unless the court dispenses with service, on any other person who the authority thinks holds any associated property which the authority wishes to be subject to a recovery order,
wherever domiciled, resident or present.
In the case of an external order which is for the recovery of property other than a sum of money which is specified in the external order (“the specified property”), that property must also be specified in the claim form.
Paragraph (5) applies in the case of an external order which is for the recovery of a specified sum of money.
If any property which the enforcement authority wishes to be subject to a recovery order is not specified in the claim form, it must be described in the form in general terms and the form must state whether it is alleged to be recoverable property or associated property.
The references above to the claim form include the particulars of claim, where they are served subsequently.
