Physical, movable property — for example, a car, furniture, or equipment — as distinct from land or buildings. A warrant or writ of control allows an enforcement officer to take control of the respondent's goods and chattels and sell them to satisfy a judgment debt. A co-owner is entitled to their share of the proceeds.
In Plain English
Your movable personal belongings, like cars or furniture, as opposed to land or houses. In some cases, these can be taken and sold to pay off a debt you owe.
