With this it will be convenient to consider new clause 1—Enforcement by taking control of goods (No. 2)—
‘(1) There shall be a form of enforcement against corporeal moveable property for recovery of money owed that is to be known as taking control of goods.
(2) Taking control of goods shall include selling them to recover a sum of money.
(3) Schedule 12 shall apply where an enactment, writ or warrant confers power to take control of goods.
(4) Regulations may make provision about taking control of goods, including provision determining the time when control is taken.
(5) Any liability of an enforcement agent (including criminal liability) arising out of his securing goods on a highway is excluded to the extent that he acted in accordance with Schedule 12 and with reasonable care.’.
