A priority is established beginning with the attachment order, which is attached to earnings rather the individual. I presume that a recovery order would be made where assets are available to be disposed of and that a community service order would be used where it is not possible to recover assets. A community service order provides for discretion in that context and that is probably why it has been included in the Bill.
