It also gives rise to a right to apply for an order for the sale of the secured property. The procedure for obtaining charging orders are governed by CPR Rule 73 Section I.

When registering a restriction (in respect of both an interim and final charging order), what wording should be used where the property is jointly owned and the charging order is against one owner only? Charging order over land Where there are joint owners of property the land will always be held under a trust of land and the proprietors, as trustees, may also be the beneficiaries. A charging order against a beneficial interest under a trust of land can be protected only by the entry of a restriction due to the provisions of section 33(a)(i) of the Land Registration Act 2002 (LRA 2002). Much therefore depends on whether the interest to be charged is the sole legal interest, or the sole or joint beneficial interest, and this will have an impact upon the effect of the charging order with regard to any potential sale of the property. See Practice Note: Charging orders over land—registration issues under the heading Charging orders over land—registration issues—Protecting the order. See also...
A judgment debtor sells a property that was subject to an interim charging order. The interim charging order was protected by a Form K restriction at HM Land Registry and the buyer’s solicitor complied with the terms of the restriction by giving notice to the judgment creditor. What remedies are available to a judgment creditor? Pursuant to section 3(4) of the Charging Orders Act 1979, a charging order ‘shall have the like effect and shall be enforceable in the same courts and in the same manner as an equitable charge created by the debtor by writing under his hand’. Thus, a charging order provides in effect that an unpaid judgment creditor is afforded the status of an equitable charge holder and is afforded some security for the unpaid debt. That being said, judgment creditors are often surprised by the limited protection actually afforded to a charge holder who has entered a standard form restriction on the debtor’s property. In this scenario, you mention that the charge was registered...
