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 Peter Noble Watt, David Carter and Michael Aynlesy of The Sheriffs Office. The initial idea for the series came after a ten-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 and nine Series have been broadcast to date. As well as eight daytime series, six 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.[1]

Basis

High Court enforcement officers (HCEOs) act under High Court writs[2] and they operate within England and Wales. County Court judgements and awards with a value of £600 and above made in the County Court can be transferred to the High Court for enforcement for a court fee of £66. If enforcement is successful, the court fee is recoverable from the judgement debtor, along with the original debt, judgement interest and enforcement costs. If unsuccessful, all the claimant pays is a £75 plus VAT compliance stage 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.[3]

HCEOs can enforce County Court judgements when the claimant has instructed them to transfer the judgement to the High Court making it a writ. Judgements can include Employment Tribunal awards, ACAS settlements and foreign judgements where the judgement debtor is based in England or Wales.[4] Part 3 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007[5] 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.[6]
