EXECUTION AND BANKRUPTCY LAW

There would have been no necessity to enforcement law if members of society would have been stick to their debts as they are stick to their receivables and pay them back at date of maturity without any kind of pressure. Just because debtors are not always faithful to their debts therefore Lawmaker regulated Law of Execution and Bankruptcy Code numbered 2004 with the purpose of to make possible creditors to collect their receivables. Since this is not the case, the legislator has enacted legal regulations in order to ensure the payment of debts that are not paid even though the time for performance has come, in other words, in order to ensure that creditors can obtain their rights. The creditor who cannot collect his/her receivables on time applies to the enforcement organs of the state in order to obtain his/her receivables. If the creditor does not do so, but tries to collect his/her receivable from the debtor by force, this constitutes a “self-execution of right” offence, which is punishable.

Institutions Performing Execution Procedures

The creditor who wants to collect his/her receivables through the state’s enforcement organs applies to the enforcement office. Enforcement offices are one of the main organs of the enforcement organisation. Enforcement offices are staffed by an enforcement manager, deputy enforcement manager, bailiffs and servants.  Another principal organ of the enforcement organisation is the enforcement court. In the enforcement court, the enforcement judge serves as a judge in the technical sense. The enforcement court has a single judge and a certain number of enforcement offices are attached to each of the courts within the judicial organisation. Enforcement courts examine and finalise the complaints against the actions of the enforcement offices under their jurisdiction. Enforcement offices perform their duties under the supervision of enforcement courts.  In addition to the primary organs of the enforcement organisation, there are also secondary enforcement organs, which have different purposes of establishment but assist the primary organs during the course of enforcement proceedings. General courts, public prosecutor’s offices and law enforcement agencies are among the secondary enforcement organs. For example, a person who claims that he does not owe a debt before or during the enforcement proceedings applies to the general courts to file a negative declaration case against the creditor (Art. 72 BEC). In enforcement proceedings by way of attachment, the enforcement directorate may request the assistance of law enforcement officers by writing to the police station, if it deems it necessary to attach the debtor’s goods upon the request of the creditor.
