If the original judgment is under £600, you can apply to have the transfer of the judgment to the High Court stayed because it is in breach of regulations
The law says a judgment must be not less than £600 to be transferred up the High Court for enforcement
Here is how to apply to stay the execution of the writ of control. Always give the following regulations in your legal argument.
