Enforcement Authorities

Knowing where to direct a request in your enforcement file matters to its progress. The enforcement office, enforcement court, and ordinary courts do not perform the same task. Who made a decision and what is to be reviewed determine the remedy.

When Are Enforcement Authorities Considered?

The enforcement office conducts proceedings and performs statutory duties at stages such as attachment, collection, and sale. The enforcement court examines enforcement-law disputes and complaints assigned to it by statute. Certain actions concerning the claim's merits belong to ordinary courts. Bankruptcy bodies and the concordat commissioner also have their own functions.

For example, the enforcement office's refusal of a sale request and the debtor's denial of a claim concern different examinations. The former may require a complaint against an enforcement action; the latter may require resolution of an objection or a debt action, depending on the enforcement route. Several application timetables may need to run together in one file.

Examine the Remedy and the Stage of the File Together

An application to the enforcement directorate must not be assumed to satisfy an application required to be made to a court within a deadline. Similarly, corresponding with the commissioner does not replace an objection or action in the court file. The authority must be selected by the request's and dispute's substance, rather than merely the document's heading.
