Thread: court order 1985

Can a court order made against me in 1985 be enforced by a high court,it was for £30,000+?
Also if I go bankrupt will it be lifted?

What was the court order for?

Was it a county court Judgement?

It was a county court order for damages,but may have been personal injury,thanks

A court order does not expire.

Section 24 (1) of the limitation act 1980 says:

An action shall not be brought upon any judgment after the expiration of six years from the date on which the judgment became enforceable

It has been held (seeLowsley v Forbes) that "action" here does not include execution of a judgement. However, I believe it is the case that the court's permission is required to enforce a judgment more than six years after it was made.

Thanks for the reply.
By going bankrupt does the court order get written off or will it always be there?
sorry to bea pain.

You will only be released from a liability to pay damages for personal injuries to any person if the court thinks fit.
