Warrant of restitution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Warrant of Restitution is a court order[1] which empowers a property owner to use court bailiffs to enforce a possession order which was gained previously.[2]

A common use of such a warrant is for a landlord to remove tenants which have re-entered the property after eviction.[3] The warrant allows the bailiffs to remove all people found on the property.[4] There is normally no requirement to start additional legal proceedings as it is effectively an additional warrant of possession.[5]
