Enforcement matters are procedural and time-sensitive. The type of instrument, the chosen enforcement route, service of documents and the debtor’s or creditor’s procedural steps all affect the file.

Enforcement route

The nature of the claim and the available document determine whether ordinary, negotiable-instrument, judgment-based or another form of enforcement is relevant.

Service and objection

The date and validity of service may determine the start of short objection or complaint periods.

Attachment and sale

Asset identification, exemptions, valuation, priority and sale procedure are considered within the relevant enforcement rules.

Insolvency procedures

Bankruptcy and concordat involve separate conditions, competent bodies and collective effects on creditors.
