2206 Seizure and sale order—notice of property seized
(1) If an enforcement officer seizes personal property at a place under a
seizure and sale order, the enforcement officer must—
(a) make an inventory of the seized property that is sufficient to
identify it; and
(b) give notice of the seizure and a copy of the inventory to—
(i) the enforcement debtor; or
(ii) if the enforcement debtor is not present but a person who
appears to be at least 16 years old and to live or be
employed at the place, or to be in possession of the
property, is present—that person.
Note See approved form 2.61 (Notice of seizure and inventory of
property under seizure and sale order) AF2006-306.
(2) The notice must include the following information:
(a) the amount (including any amount payable for interest and
costs) required to satisfy the order debt;
(b) that application may be made under rule 2202 for an order
exempting particular property from sale under the seizure and
sale order;
(c) a summary of the process that is followed for sale of property
(3) If there is no-one present at the place who can be given the notice and
a copy of the inventory, the enforcement officer must leave the notice
and a copy of the inventory, secured conspicuously, at the place.
