Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 74: 74: Schedule 12, page 201, line 41, at end insert ““by serving a notice on the debtor or a person in control of the premises and additionally, if the bailiff deems it necessary, by physically securing the goods”” The noble Lord said: I should like to talk to Amendment No. 77 as well. We have covered a lot of this ground so I shall not go over it again, but I would like to understand in more detail what is proposed to happen when the bailiff turns up at premises and somebody else is there. Under what circumstances will the bailiff feel comfortable about leaving the goods where they are? Under the policy statement on delegated powers, there has to be a signature, so someone has to be there to provide a signature. How are bailiffs to decide who is entitled to provide that signature? What sort of evidence or relationship will they look for and where will that be set out? How will bailiffs know what is expected of them so that they do not fall foul of the provisions later in the Bill?
