Warrants of Control (WoC) are issued for purpose of levying goods to satisfy a fine ordered by a court - The AEAs collect the fines on behalf of HMCTS and are able to charge a recovery fee (set out in statute) directly from the defaulter, so there are no costs to HMCTS.

HMCTS uses this service in areas where it does not have the capacity to send Civilian Enforcement Officers (CEOs). Current annual contract value £x m.
