Enforcement hearings

Supreme and District Courts - civil
An enforcement hearing obtains financial information from an enforcement debtor (a person required to pay money under a court order). 

The enforcement creditor (a person entitled to enforce an order for the payment of money) may apply to the court for an enforcement hearing summons.

The summons requires an enforcement debtor to complete a Form 71 – Statement of financial position (UCPR) and return it to the enforcement creditor within 14 days.

The debtor may then be required to attend court to answer questions relating to their financial affairs.

If the debtor does not attend the hearing, the court may issue a warrant for their arrest to bring them to court.
