One bailiff to put on the wheel clamp
One hire purchase contract revokes it
One judge to order the bailiff to take it off again.
Here’s what happened next…

It had been clamped since October 2019.
At £60 a day, I don't want to be there when the bill arrives.

They opted to injunct because a locksmith quoted silly-money to remove the clamp.
As the car is a motability car, an injunction cost nothing. The bailiff company pays, and they have to bring their own hammer and crowbar.

No.
It's usually about 72 hours from clamping event to the application laid before a judge.
It's less when its an ANPR drive-by clamping event without notice.
On this occasion, the Notice was given back in October and I heard nothing more, so I thought the car had been released.
Come March 15, they said the clamp was still there, the injunction was filed next day as an ex-parte application and the bailiff was ordered to return control of the car.
I think the harsh winter weather rusted up the lock.
It was interesting to see hammers and crowbars are standard bailiff toolkit.
The solicitor got a bollocking from the judge for leaving it so long after giving the notice to bring the application but had to be said there is no maximum time limit to injunct after the notice has been given.
It just means the hirer can recover costs and special damages for the deprivation of the car, which I expect to be about £9,000.
