Seizure after judgment across Greater Montreal and surrounding areas — | Strategic & Reliable enforcement of court judgments

A court judgment is only as valuable as its enforcement. Where a debtor does not pay voluntarily, seizure after judgment is the procedure that converts a court decision into recovery. At QCO Bailiffs (Quici Cardazzi Ordekian) we execute judgments and provide strategic, efficient and legally compliant seizures throughout Greater Montreal including the Island of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the North & South Shores. Our team guides you through every available option in order to ensure you proceed with what is most advantageous for your file.

What Is a Seizure After Judgment?

Seizure after judgment is the legal process by which a creditor enforces a court decision by mandating a bailiff to seize the debtor’s assets, property, income or funds. In Québec this procedure is governed by the Code of Civil Procedure and is executed by a recognized bailiff. It is a primary option available to a creditor holding an unpaid judgment.

Who Is this Service For?

This service is designed for any creditor holding an enforceable judgment:

Lawyers enforcing judgments on behalf of clients
Landlords seeking to recover unpaid rent, damages or lease arrears
Businesses collecting outstanding commercial debts
Individuals holding a judgment against a non-paying party
Law firms outside Quebec requiring judgment enforcement within the province

What Can Be Seized?

Depending on the debtor’s situation, available assets, and the information at the creditor’s disposal, our team will assess and recommend the most strategic seizure option for your file. Depending on the file, a seizure may target:

Bank accounts: Funds held at a financial institution.
Salary and income: Wage garnishment served directly to the debtor’s employer, subject to the exemptions and portions prescribed by law.
Movable property: Physical assets at the debtor’s residence or place of business, including vehicles, subject to the exemptions prescribed by law.
Amounts held by a third party: Sums owed to the debtor by a third party also known as tiers-saisi

Our team will analyze your judgment and guide you toward the most advantageous option suitable to your file in order to produce a fast and effective debt recovery.

How does the Process Work?

Every seizure file is handled with precision, discretion, and strategic intent. Once your mandate is received, QCO Bailiffs moves through the following steps:

Analysis of the judgment and applicable delays
Assessment of the most effective and suitable option based on the information available
Execution of the seizure by Bailiff in respect to the Code of Civil Procedure
Notification to the creditor and regular follow-ups throughout the process
Sale of seized movable assets when applicable

Each file is assessed individually to determine the approach best suited to your specific circumstances.

Choosing the Right Seizure - A Strategic Approach to Recovery

Not all seizures are equal. The right strategy depends on the debtor’s financial situation, the nature of their assets, and the urgency of your file. At QCO Bailiffs, we do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. We take the time to assess your file, identify the most viable recovery option, and guide you through informed decisions at every stage.
