Salary owed been collected by enforcement officer

My OH was owed quite a large amount of money by his previous employer.

Its been to the High court and the enforcement officer got a cheque from the company yesterday. My question is, do they have to keep it a specific length of time before passing it to OH? OH was told by solicitor that when it clears the enforcement officer will issue a cheque , so Im assuming thats 3 working days. Would like to know when we can pay bills/book holiday etc !

Cheers
:hello:

    I'd work on a couple of weeks. At least you know the cheque you're going to get won't bounce and that risk is being borne by the court.
  • If this is anything to go by, at least 14 days and probably 21 - I do not know if this is regular practice though

    who is the cheque payable to? i would think the court agent would have put it on a special clearance, so follow up in a week- its YOUR money, not theirs!
