Enforcement Proceedings

Enforcement proceedings begin when the debtor fails to voluntarily fulfill their obligation. To initiate such proceedings, an enforcement title (writ of execution) must be issued. The writ is based on an enforceable document proving a legally enforceable right. Creditors must go through a court procedure to obtain the writ.
The enforcement case is filed with a state or private bailiff, with applicable fees charged according to a prescribed tariff. As part of the enforcement process, the bailiff may impose measures such as seizure of assets or attachment to secure execution.
