I have obtained judgment against a Scottish company in the English
county court. It's for a fairly modest amount (just over £300).
I don't think the company will do anything when I send them a copy and
ask for payment.
So, I think I'm going to have to take enforcement action. What's the
most economical way of going about this?
This is an FAQ on the Scottish Courts web-site:
https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking-action/frequently-asked-questions/general-faqs/serving-or-enforcing-a-court-order
In short, it is a three step process:
(1) Obtain a "Certificate of Money Provisions" using CPR Rule 74.17. [1]
(2) Register the certificate obtained in step 1 in the "Register of
Judgments of the Books of Council and Sessions". This must be done
within 6 months of the certificate being issued and you'll be sent an
extract of the registered certificate and a warrant for execution.
When this is done, the English judgment is now enforceable in Scotland.
(3) Instruct a Sheriff Officer to attempt to recover the debt.
Further details is available at the link above.

Thank you, Simon. I decided to give them (Scottish Power) one last
chance to pay. And, amazingly, they did!
There's one clear point that comes out of this: Avoid Scottish Power.
There are plenty of better companies out there.
