Whether they\u2019re of a commercial or personal nature, certain situations can quickly turn into conflicts. Trying to evict a tenant or recover an unpaid debt can often be a difficult process, even when the court has ruled in your favour. That\u2019s why a court bailiff plays a key role where the R\u00e9gie du logement and the Small Claims Division are concerned.<\/p>\n
For over 35 years now, members of the Philippe & Associ\u00e9s firm have been here to help you resolve these types of situations.<\/p>\n
First of all, it\u2019s important to know that a bailiff can in no way replace a lawyer. Although he contributes to the proper administration of justice and has a lot of legal knowledge, he is not authorized to give legal advice. Nevertheless, he plays a key role when it becomes difficult to carry out a court ruling. Certain defendants (guilty parties) protest even after a ruling has been made, in which case, we are dealing with executing a garnishment or an eviction.<\/p>\n
No matter the situation that needs to be resolved (eviction or recovery at the Small Claims Division), our bailiffs start by meeting with you in order to determine the appropriate strategy. First, it\u2019s important to decide whether or not it\u2019s relevant to proceed. For example, if the defendant has no registered job or bank account, it will be more difficult to claim what\u2019s owed to you.<\/p>\n
However, if the situation lends itself to a collection, the bailiff will inform you of the recommended types of seizure (bank account, salary or movable property).<\/p>\n
Regardless of your problem, keep in mind that our bailiffs are working for you.
\nGoverned by a very strict professional order, we always intervene in accordance with a specific code of ethics. Active in a large number of districts across the province of Quebec, we deal with each ruling in a respectful, discreet, and transparent way.<\/p>\n
