This session demystifies Orders for Sale - a powerful enforcement tool used to realise a debtor’s interest in property when charging orders alone are insufficient. We will explore their legal foundation under the Charging Orders Act 1979, Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA), and the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR Part 73), before examining when an Order for Sale is appropriate, proportionate, and strategically effective. Attendees will gain insight into recent case law, evolving judicial attitudes, and key CPR updates shaping current practice.

Designed for litigators, debt recovery specialists, insolvency practitioners, and housing professionals, this webinar provides clear definitions, essential terminology (including “beneficial interest”, “equitable charge”, and “enforcement discretion”), and practical guidance.

A must‑watch for anyone seeking to navigate the shifting landscape of enforcement and maximise the effectiveness of Orders for Sale in 2026.

Who this is for:

The session will combine theory and worked examples, so that both junior practitioners and experienced debt-recovery solicitors walk away with actionable guidance on making or resisting Orders for Sale in the current regulatory environment.

Top 3 takeaways from the webinar:

Orders for Sale are the most decisive enforcement mechanism available for realising a debtor’s beneficial interest in property when a Charging Order alone is ineffective—grounded in the Charging Orders Act 1979, TOLATA 1996 and CPR Part 73.
Proportionality and judicial discretion are now central, with recent case law showing increased scrutiny of vulnerability, co‑ownership, competing creditors and the overall fairness of forcing a sale.
Successful applications rely on precision and evidence—clear valuation, equity analysis, creditor priority, and compliance with CPR procedure significantly increase the likelihood of securing an Order for Sale.
