Questions about this procedure
How is an extension of the taking-control period established?
Does applying extend the taking-control period automatically?
No. Regulation 9(3) gives the court a power to order extension, subject to paragraph (4). An application is not the grant.
TCG Regulations 2013, reg 9(3)–(4)Can the court grant repeated twelve-month control extensions?
Paragraph (4)(b) limits this extension power to one occasion. Do not import the repeat-renewal language of the non-TCG writ rule.
TCG Regulations 2013, reg 9(4)(b); CPR 83.3(4)What grounds must the court consider before extending the control period?
Paragraph (4)(c) requires reasonable grounds for not taking control of the debtor’s goods during the original period. The court must actually be satisfied.
TCG Regulations 2013, reg 9(4)(c)When does an extension start after the timely application covered by CPR 84.5(2)?
It starts the day after the existing regulation 9(1) expiry, or a later day the court orders. Retain that actual later-day direction if given.
CPR 84.5(2)Who must receive an actual control-period extension order?
CPR 84.5(3)(a) requires service on the debtor and on the creditor, enforcement agent or enforcement officer as appropriate.
CPR 84.5(3)(a)How does the control instrument record the actual extension?
Where the specified TCG instrument is involved, CPR 84.5(3)(b) requires the court to endorse a note of the extension. Rule 83.4(6) addresses evidence of the extension.
