Enforcement and bankruptcy law
Recovery of debts through enforcement, objections to proceedings and bankruptcy procedure.
Enforcement and bankruptcy law governs the recovery of a due debt through the power of the State and the winding-up of a debtor's assets in insolvency. The Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law No. 2004 lays down distinct procedures for proceedings with and without a judgment, for attachment, for sale and for bankruptcy.
Time limits in this field are short and are frequently preclusive. Failure to object to a payment order in time, or to bring an action to annul or set aside an objection, to assert a third-party claim or to file a complaint, may cost the claim or the defence entirely. The enforcement file and the dates of service are examined first for that reason.
