The Ministry of Justice has announced today that it will be outsourcing the collection of Magistrate courts fines currently done by almost 150 civil servants to the private sector.

 

I have written on this forum since 2013 of the proposed plans which were abandoned approx 2 years ago.

 

The vast majority of Magistrate Court fines are already enforced by the private sector (by Marston Holdings, Collectica Ltd, Swift and Excel Enforcement Ltd). A small proportion are also enforced by HM Courts & Tribunal Service Civilian Enforcement Agents. CEA's have the authority to search premises and place defaulters in custody. Their work will now be undertaken by the private sector.

Could I please make clear to anyone reading this thread that the 150 civil servants referred to in the above post are employees of HM Courts & Tribunal Service and and such, are Civilian Enforcement Agents which must not be confused with Approved Enforcement Agents (which prior to 2014, was the term given to the private sector agents under contract with HMCTS to enforce court fines.
