Kidderminster Magistrates' Court bailiffs: fees and what happens
If the tenant does not leave by the date in the order, you ask this court for a warrant of possession (form N325, or N325A after a suspended order). The court sends you forms EX96 (appointment) and EX97A (risk assessment), which must be returned at least 3 working days before the eviction. The tenant must get at least 14 days' notice of the appointment. More on bailiffs and warrants.
