The Sheriffs Are Coming is a British television fly on the wall documentary series, broadcast on BBC One, that follows the work of High Court enforcement officers (HCEOs) from The Sheriffs Office in Croydon.[1] The initial idea for the series came after a 10-minute feature on HCEOs on the BBC One show Inside Out South West in 2011. The first series, containing ten episodes, commenced on 19 March 2012. Six series have been broadcast to date, with a seventh series due in 2018. As well as seven daytime series, five hour-long prime time series have been broadcast, compiling footage from episodes from the parent series. On 5 February 2014, The Sheriffs Are Coming was announced as the winner of the Best Daytime Programme at the Broadcast Awards 2014.[2]
Basis
HCEOs act under a High Court writ.[3] They operate within England and Wales. Judgements and awards for £600 and above made in a county court can be transferred to the High Court for enforcement for a court fee of £60. If enforcement is successful, the court fee is recovered from the debtor, along with the original debt, judgement interest and enforcement costs. If unsuccessful, all the claimant pays is a £75 plus VAT compliance fee (referred to as an admin fee in the programme). In the case of employment tribunal and Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) awards, there is no minimum value before a claimant can use an HCEO.[4]
HCEOs can enforce: county court judgements (CCJs), High Court judgements, employment tribunal awards, ACAS settlements and foreign judgements where the debtor is based in England or Wales.[5] Part 3 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007[6] was implemented in April 2014. The new regulations include a requirement to send a seven-day notice of enforcement to judgement debtors, an increase in the time delay between seizure and sale and how peaceable entry may be effected. There has also been reform of fees charged by HCEOs.[7]
