What may an appraiser do while valuing the property, and which of those steps must have the court's permission first?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
For this exercise we read the appraiser's valuation report, which should show what steps were taken and why, any written request that an execution officer assist the appraiser, and the court's paper granting or refusing that permission, since the provision turns on whether the permission preceded the request for assistance.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading treats the appraiser as the actor the court appoints for the valuation, who may take the measures the provision elsewhere prescribes for that valuation where they are needed, and who, when requiring an execution officer's assistance, must first obtain the court's permission.
Another reading stresses that the permission condition in the provision has a single named trigger, the demand for an execution officer's assistance, so the provision fixes which step needs permission and leaves open only how necessary a given measure is for the valuation.
Your judgment
If the valuation needed an entry, how could the report show that the measures taken were necessary for that valuation?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to make another appraiser's step subject to the court's permission, or if a court decision explains what makes a measure necessary for the valuation.
