New law allows bailiffs to seek police aid in handling resistance, but at a cost

A new law allowing police to assist bailiffs in enforcing repossession orders comes into effect tomorrow. Under the law police and frontier guards can be called upon, either in writing or orally, to assist bailiffs who encounter resistance in the course of performing their duties. However, the police will be able to charge for their services. According to an order from the Minister of Justice, the cost of providing police support for a bailiff will range from zl.4 to zl.125.
