This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already rules about giving notice to people before they're evicted by High Court Enforcement Officers.

There are already some rules, called the Civil Procedure Rules, that say that courts will usually only give permission for this kind of eviction if people have been given notice.

The rules are online here: www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part-83-writs-and-warrants-general-provisions#83.13

Specifically, the rules say:

"the court will not give permission to enforce a Writ of possession of any land unless:

(a) every person in actual possession of the whole or any part of the land ('the occupant') has received such notice of the proceedings as appears to the court sufficient to enable the occupant to apply to the court for any relief to which the occupant may be entitled".

There's also guidance for people using the services of High Court Enforcement Officers, which says that tenants or people with mortgages are usually given 7 days’ notice once the Writ has been issued by the court, unless there's a good reason not to.

You can see the guidance here:

We understand that you're also concerned about people who've been evicted not being able to get support from their local council after 5pm. Local councils already operate a 24 hour emergency service so that people who've been made homeless can apply for help outside office hours.
