Enforcement Proceedings
The enforcement proceedings seek to satisfy the creditor’s claim against his debtor/debtors through voluntary or enforcement proceedings against the latter.
A subject of enforcement proceedings may be creditor’s rights relating to payment of money debts, execution of a substitute action, execution of a non-substitute action, including inaction. Also included in this category are movable property transmission actions, entry into possession of real estate, executing parental rights, child transmission, etc. Enforcement proceedings are always initiated on the basis of a verdict of judicial or arbitration (judgment or an order) which is enforceable. Prior to opening an enforcement case, the creditor must obtain a writ of execution on the basis of an enforceable judgment, an enforceable court order, an appellate court judgement (which has not yet entered into force, a court judgement under which a pre-performance is admitted or subject to execution, etc.)
