Civil Enforcement and Court Orders

The Enforcement Office, commonly referred to as the Sheriff’s Office, is located within the London Courthouse on Dundas Street. This government unit is responsible for the enforcement of civil court orders issued by the Superior Court of Justice and the Small Claims Court.

This office does not provide legal advice but facilitates the practical application of court decisions regarding property and assets.

• Evictions: Executing eviction orders and ensuring vacant possession of properties.
• Asset Seizure: Enforcing writs to seize and sell personal or real property to satisfy debts.
• Document Service: Official serving of legal documents for specific civil matters.
