Civil Court Users Association (CCUA) is pleased to have received a response from the new Minister responsible for civil justice and enforcement policy, Heidi Alexander MP, to our proposals for improving performance of civil courts.

In her letter to us she says she has noted our suggestions including reforming the Return of Goods process and implementing Information Orders to enable the courts to request information from HMRC to allow claimants to target enforcement methods more appropriately. She also notes our concern about the effectiveness of the enforcement of warrants of control in the county court and our suggestion that private enforcement agents be allowed to enforce them.

The Minister will write to us with a fuller
response to the points raised once they have been discussed further with officials.
