This Consultation Paper is the first publication in the Law Commission’s new project on enforcement of family financial orders. The law provides a number of tools for enforcement, ranging from attachment of earnings orders to committal to prison. Some are more complex than others; some are more effective than others. The objective of the Commission’s project is to consider to what extent the law could be reformed to make enforcement proceedings more efficient, by which it is more likely to produce compliance with a court order, in a way that is fair to both parties.
