aims to modernize and simplify enforcement processes, while at the same time making sure that there are adequate safeguards for debtors. One of the most positive aspects of the new Act for creditors is the right to seek a Charging Order where the judgment provides for installment payments. Matters really improve for debtors with the introduction of Enforcement Restriction Orders although, thankfully for creditors, they only apply to non-business debts. This particular arrangement will allow a debtor to apply to the court to be protected from the enforcement of a non-business debt for a six-month period. There are also minor alterations to the basis upon which Attachment of Earnings Orders will apply with a stricter set of deductions at fixed rat...

This article also explores the consequences for states of vesting enforcement of the laws of war in international jud...

The first comprehensive constitutional critique of judicial enforcement of international tribunal judgments is laid out...
