What happens if the debtor objects to the enforcement proceedings?

In non-judgment-based enforcement, an objection lodged by the debtor within the applicable period halts the proceedings. In that case, we seek to keep the proceedings going by pursuing annulment or removal of the objection.

In non-judgment-based enforcement, an objection lodged by the debtor within the applicable period halts the proceedings. In that case we work to keep the proceedings alive by pursuing annulment or removal of the objection. The timing is strict: in non-judgment-based enforcement the objection has to be lodged within seven days of service of the payment order, and one lodged late has no effect. Which route is open depends on the document you hold — removal of the objection is sought from the enforcement court, annulment from the general court. And where the objection turns out to have been unjustified, denial-of-enforcement compensation can be claimed if the conditions for it are met.
