Enforcement costs can be defined as those expenses incurred by the parties to the civil enforcement report that are necessary to perform enforcement acts or activities directly related to enforcement.

Enforcement can be done directly, in which case the debtor forcibly delivers the goods, or indirectly by:

  • pursuit of the debtor’s movable and immovable property of other persons liable for his obligations;
  • handing over to the creditor the goods that the debtor owns without right;
  • seizure of income.

Enforcement costs include:

  • the stamp duties necessary to initiate enforcement
  • the bailiff’s fee, which is established according to the law
  • the lawyer’s fee in the forced execution phase
  • the fees of the expert and translator
  • expenditure incurred in disclosing the enforcement procedure and in carrying out other acts of enforcement
  • transport costs
  • other expenses provided by law or necessary for the execution of the forced execution

The amounts due to be paid shall be determined by the bailiff on the basis of the evidence submitted by the interested party, in accordance with the law. These amounts may be censured by the enforcement court, by way of an enforcement appeal filed by the interested party and taking into account the evidence administered by them. Suspension of enforcement in respect of such enforcement costs shall not be conditional on the payment of a security.
