What is the EJO?
The Enforcement of Judgments Office (EJO) is essentially a centralised unit for enforcing judgments of the courts. The EJO’s powers and procedures are contained in the Judgments Enforcement (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, and Judgment Enforcement Rules (Northern Ireland) 1981.

The Work the EJO
Since October 2003 the EJO restructured their approach to tackling the workload to a ‘One Process’ approach. This involves one team dealing with a case from the initial application to closure, as opposed to the former procedure were a case would be transferred between three separate departments within EJO in its lifespan.
