Appeal and objection

Legal remedies in enforcement proceedings

Legal remedies in enforcement proceedings are the appeal and objection.

The appeal is used to contest the writ of the first instance court or the writ of the public enforcement officer, unless it is stipulated in the Law on enforcement and security interest the appeal is not permitted or that such writ is to be contested by objection.

The objection is filed against the writ on the motion for enforcement based on credible document, against other writs of the first instance court or public enforcement officer defined by the Law on enforcement and security interest, and in the form of the third party objection.

Only in case of objection of the third party an objection is permitted against the writ issued on the objection to the writ, and the appeal only against the writ issued on the objection to the writ of execution based on a credible document.

A conclusion is not subject to objection or appeal. The objection or appeal filed against a conclusion is dismissed by a writ or conclusion which completes the enforcement proceedings.

Decisions on Third Party Objection

If the enforcement creditor fails to make declaration on the objection in due time, or fails to challenge the objection, or if a third party proves the objection by a final decision, or an official or a legally certified document, a writ is passed to adopt the objection, and the enforcement proceedings with respect to the subject of enforcement is discontinued, along with repealing of the writ of execution and all the actions taken.

Civil lawsuit does not stay the enforcement. The enforcement debtor challenging the right of a third party must be included in the complaint.

Provisions on civil lawsuit procedure for determining the illicitness of the enforcement apply to the civil lawsuit.

If the enforcement proceedings has not yet been completed, and the court has determined by a final ruling that enforcement against the subject is illicit, the public enforcement officer, at the motion of a third party, discontinues the enforcement proceedings with respect to such subject, and repeals the writ of execution and all implemented actions.

Co-owner, whose stake in a movable asset does not exceed the half of its value, may not request that the enforcement against the subject, with respect to his or her stake, is declared illicit.

He is entitled to request payment of the share of the proceeds generated by sale of the assets, proportional to his stake, prior to other persons entitled to be satisfied and prior to settlement of the costs of the enforcement proceedings, or to request that the asset is assigned to him upon payment of the deposit in the amount of the enforcement debtor’s stake in the asset.

If his stake in the asset has been challenged, he may file a complaint against the enforcement creditor with the aim of determining the existence of his stake.
