    Re: bailiffs

    A warrent runs out after a year, so if it was issued over a year ago it is a worthless piece of paper.

    Extract from Desktop lawyer.

    How long does the warrant last?
    The warrant lasts for one year.
    If the warrant has not been paid or if the bailiff has not made a final report within this time, it is no longer valid. You can ask the court to 'extend the warrant's life'. You will have to pay a fee for asking the court to do this. You should try to do this before the year is up. You can also do this after the year is over, but you will have to give reasons why you did not do so sooner.
    If the court does not agree, and you still want to use this form of enforcement, you will have to ask for a new warrant. You will have to pay another fee.

    Borrow money from a pessimist -- they don't expect it back.
