| 1. Is a court judgment
needed in your country to enforce debts? |
Normally a court judgment is needed;
for certain kinds of credits it is possible to use a
very quick proceeding. In this case the judge does not
give a judgment, but a "decree" and this decree
is the title to use in the enforcement proceedings. |
| 2. On average, how
much does it cost, (court fees) to issue debt collection
proceedings? |
It depends on the amount of the case.
|
| 3. Is there a procedure
for claims that are not defended? |
Yes |
| 4. What is the average
time from issue of proceedings to judgment, if not defended? |
Normally you have the title within
40 days. Exceptionally it is, in urgent cases, possible
to have the title for the enforcement immediately. |
| 5. What is the average
time from judgment to the first enforcement method by
the court? |
10 days |
| 6. Are any special
procedures required to enforce judgment? |
Yes |
| 7. Can you recover
legal costs from the Defendant (in whole or in part)? |
Yes |
| 8. Can assets of
the Defendant be seized to enforce judgment? |
Yes |
| 9. If Yes how much
does this cost (eg court fees)? |
It depends on the amount of the debit. |
| 10. Are these costs
recoverable (from the assets seized)? |
Yes, in principle |
