Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law
Compulsory enforcement of claims, objections to debts and liquidation proceedings.
ABOUT THIS FIELD
Enforcement and bankruptcy law regulates the compulsory satisfaction of claims arising from private-law relationships and the enforcement methods that may be applied to a debtor’s assets. Enforcement with or without judgment, attachment, foreclosure of security, bankruptcy and restructuring by composition are among its principal institutions.
The creditor selects the enforcement route appropriate to the document on which the claim is based and the nature of the debt. The debtor and creditor must observe the statutory time limits for steps such as payment orders, objections, attachment, sale and ranking schedules.
