Get in touchThe steps for a Common Law Eviction for travellers is as follows:
Verify ownership or tenancy proof and grant authority to act.
We prepare a Common Law Notice to Leave, ensuring compliance with regulations.
Our agents perform a risk assessment and serve the notice to an adult or post it in visible locations.
If travellers refuse to leave, we remove persons and vehicles using minimal force, with police support if needed.
The site is secured to prevent re-entry, and we provide full documentation, including photographs and condition reports.
If the Common Law eviction is unsuccessful, we may advise obtaining a possession order or explore other options, such as a Section 60 notice or court orders for larger encampments.
The process typically involves the following steps:
To obtain a possession order, we must gather all evidence to lodge the claim with court:
Verify ownership or tenancy proof and grant authority to act.
Prepare and submit the claim form, particulars of claim, and all supporting documents to initiate the legal proceedings against the travellers.
Ensure the travellers are formally notified by serving them with the necessary documents and the Notice of Hearing to inform them of the legal proceedings.
Appear in court with your solicitor to present your case and seek the necessary legal order for eviction.
Once the court issues the order, follow the prescribed steps to enforce it and ensure the eviction is carried out successfully.
Once the possession order is secured, it is transferred to the High Court for the issuance of a Writ of Possession.
The High Court issues the Writ of Possession, allowing enforcement actions to be taken, including against “persons unknown.”
Ensure the travellers are formally notified by serving them with the necessary documents and the Notice of Hearing to inform them of the legal proceedings.
The writ is executed by High Court Enforcement Officers, who may call on the police for support if required. At Strikes Property Services Group, our own Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer, Andrew McDermott, handles the transfer of Writs to the High Court, eliminating the need for third parties.
