Responding to you
Based on your letter or email, the Office of the Sheriff – Civil Enforcement may choose to:
- conduct an investigation if there appears to be an act of misconduct committed by a civil enforcement agency employee (for example, bailiff)
- resolve your complaint through another dispute resolution process
The Office will contact you about the outcome of your complaint.
The Office doesn’t deal with complaints regarding legal decisions. Such matters involve appeals at the Court of Appeal.
