What Form 68 is for
Where a judgment or order is for the delivery of goods or the recovery of their assessed value, the writ of delivery is for that relief together with any damages for detention or costs (r 875(1)(b) Supreme Court Rules 2000 (Tas)). A judgment for the assessed value of goods may also be enforced by the money-judgment methods in rule 873(2) (r 875(5)). The writ must be in the prescribed form (r 900(3)), which is Form 68. It commands the Sheriff to deliver the goods and, if they cannot be found in Tasmania, to levy the assessed value from the defendant's property, and optionally to levy costs or damages and costs too.
When you need it
- Your judgment or order requires the other party to deliver goods or pay their assessed value.
- If the judgment is for delivery of the goods only, use Form 67.
How to fill it in
- 1
Heading
Copy the registry, file number and party names from the proceeding.
- 2
Recitals
Insert the date of the judgment or order, the parties, the assessed value stated in the judgment and any costs or damages and costs ordered.
- 3
Commands
Keep paragraphs 1, 2 and 5, inserting the assessed value in paragraph 2. Keep paragraphs 3 and 4 only if further money (costs or damages) is to be levied.
- 4
Schedule
Describe the goods as in the judgment. Complete the particulars of the amount to be levied and the continuing interest paragraph if money is included.
- 5
Issue
Leave the date and signature for the Registrar or District Registrar.
Filing, lodging and service
- Lodge the writ at the registry to be sealed and dated (r 900(1)-(2)), then give it to the Sheriff.
- An unexecuted writ is in force for one year from issue and can be renewed with leave (r 901).
- Check the court's Sheriff's costs of execution and Costs endorsed pages for charges and costs on execution.
Common mistakes
- As on Form 67, the Schedule's placeholder on the official form refers to land; describe the goods.
- Interest on any money levied runs at the rate the judgment carries (r 900(4)(b)); the court publishes the prescribed rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Form 67 and Form 68?
Form 67 enforces a judgment for delivery of the goods themselves. Form 68 enforces a judgment for delivery of the goods or payment of their assessed value, so the Sheriff can levy the value if the goods cannot be found (r 875(1)).
