Corporate, Commercial Law and Dispute Resolution · Commercial Disputes, Debt and Bankruptcy
Debtor rights during compulsory enforcement continue to apply even after a judgment has become enforceable and a state or private enforcement officer begins recovery. Enforcement may restrict accounts and property, but the debtor still has procedural rights that can be used to challenge unlawful or disproportionate action.
Possible Enforcement Measures
After voluntary payment is not made, enforcement proceedings can include attachment of property and funds, inventory and sale of assets, deductions from income and certain temporary restrictions available under law.
Right to Receive Enforcement Decisions
The debtor is entitled to receive copies of enforcement orders and information about opening the proceeding, attachments and other material actions.
Right to Review the File
The debtor may inspect enforcement materials, make copies and submit comments or applications. Reviewing the file is often the first step in identifying procedural errors.
Right to Challenge the Officer
Actions or inaction of an enforcement officer can be challenged through the available court or Ministry of Justice procedure where the debtor considers that enforcement rules have been breached.
Payment Schedule and Protected Property
Where justified, the debtor may ask the court to defer enforcement, allow instalments or change the manner of execution. Certain property and minimum protected income may be excluded from recovery under applicable rules.
Practical Protection
Payment records, correspondence and copies of enforcement orders should be retained. Deadlines for complaints should be checked immediately, and applications or objections should be filed in writing so that the debtor's position is documented.
Debtor enforcement strategy should focus on timely review of the enforcement file, protection of exempt property and prompt challenge of unlawful measures while preserving a realistic plan for satisfying the enforceable obligation.
