Recognition & enforcement of court decisions
If a court has decided that someone must pay you an amount of money or undertake a particular action (judgment) and this has not happened or you have not received the money, you may want to ask the court to enforce the decision.
- How to enforce a court decision When a Court is involved in solving a dispute, there are two steps that must be ensured at the end of the process. First, the Court must hand down a judgment and then the judgment needs to be enforced in practice.
- European enforcement order The Regulation (EC) No 805/2004 is a simple procedure that can be used for uncontested cross-border claims. This procedure allows a judgment in an uncontested claim delivered in one Member State to be easily recognised and enforced in another Member State.
