In 2001 she was appointed to the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Group on Enforcement Service Delivery and has worked closely with the Lord Chancellors Review Team on the Enforcement of Court Judgments. This work is culminated in the publication of the White Paper, “Effective Enforcement”, in May 2003.
Claire was nominated for her contribution to the Credit Industry in 2002 following the successful implementation of the Sheriffs Lodgment Centre, which has transferred over 200,000 County Court Judgments with a judgment debt value of over £1 Billion from the County Court to the High Court since its creation in March 1999.
In 2004 Claire and her fellow Authorised High Court Enforcement Officers launched the highly innovative brands of “Sherforce” and “Sherbond” to carry on the work of the Sheriffs in all 105 postcodes in England and Wales.
Claire’s team also won Plain English Awards for their leaflets to explain the work of Sherforce.
In 2005 Claire extended Shergroup operations in Delhi, India, and Shergroup now has over 15 staff working as paralegals for Sherforce, and the Sheriffs Lodgment Centre.
Claire is currently working on the 10th edition of “Enforcement of a Judgment” and building the Group websites to deliver realtime interactive information about enforcement to court users.
