These companies have led the way:

Court ruling; judgment or court order

For the bailiff to do their work they need a court ruling. To get one, court proceedings must be started. A court procedure starts with a summons. You need a court bailiff to serve the summons on your client.

It is also possible that you want to engage a bailiff because you already have a judgment or court order, but payment has still not been made. In that case too you can engage a court bailiff. The court bailiff can seize property or income in order to obtain what you are entitled to.
