    I don’t believe that you are correct, you must give notice that you will be using the bailiffs, but need not give notice of when, which is what I was referring to.

    No-one is able to arrange to have “friends” gather there indefinitely or to keep a door barricaded all day long for weeks on end, which are the sort of thing I’d be worrying about if I told someone when an eviction was happening.

    HCEOs are more than capable in dealing with troublesome tenants.

    Given that obstructing HCEOs is an offence; not many will spend 24hrs in the cells to ‘help’ their mate.

    Yes, you must give notice that you will use HCEOs. But they also serve notice. This is because they cannot rely on LLs to serve notice as they are legally culpable if no notice is given.

    I’m reminded of the foolish “freeman on the land” types who arranges mass protests a couple of years back to try to frustrate the process.

    No good debating it really, just pack up and leave... The courts have heard both sides by now and you both would have had chance to put your arguments forward.

    Someone is in the wrong and this time not the LL
