The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (Commencement No. 11) Order 2014

This Order is the eleventh commencement order under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (the 2007 Act) and brings into force, with one limited exception, Part 3 of the 2007 Act, which provides for the replacement of various powers of enforcement by way of execution and distraint by a procedure known as taking control of goods, and for the abolition of distress for rent and its replacement by a power (to be known as commercial rent arrears recovery, or CRAR) to use the taking control of goods procedure. The exception is in relation to section 85. Section 85 provides for contractual terms that grant similar rights to distress for rent or CRAR to be void. This Order does not commence section 85 in relation to licences to occupy commercial premises (commercial licences). This is to enable parties to continue to negotiate for a commercial licence to include terms granting similar rights to distress for rent or CRAR, as such rights are not otherwise available in the licence context.
