Procedures for a payment order

Our French attorneys may file an injonction de payer (French term) if the French debtor refuses to pay during the extrajudicial phase. The most economical method of collecting money for your invoices is through this order for payment technique. The French attorney will officially ask the court for an enforceable title. The debtor is obligated to pay the loan right away thanks to this enforceable title. If the debtor doesn’t make payments, creditors may take further action, such as seizing the debtor’s assets.

.The debtor will be informed and requested his input before establishing an enforceable title. Given that the court will ask the creditor to respond to the debtor’s objection or appear at a hearing, the debtor may also raise an objection that delays the process.

Brief proceedings

The claim is contested if the debtor disputes the invoice. Starting de référé (French Term) procedure is something we advise doing in disputed circumstances. In this instance, the French attorney will submit any pertinent records that support the debtor’s need to make payment. Through a bailiff, this is accomplished. We must demonstrate that the unpaid invoice is due and that the debtor does not object for summary actions to be accepted. However, the matter must be handled through standard civil processes, if the court determines that there is a substantive dispute regarding the claim.

Ordinary civil actions

The procedure au fond, in which our French attorneys represent the client before the French court, will be used to resolve instances involving more complex disagreements. The debtor is required to appear at the hearing that we have summoned them to. Lawyers are anticipated to present their cases before the judge at the initial hearing. The judge will next establish a timetable for attorneys to exchange written arguments. Following completion of the schedule, parties are summoned to a final hearing, following which the judge renders a decision.

French bailiffs

In France, bailiffs are sworn in as members of the court. They have the right to deal with both extrajudicial and judicial issues. Our French attorneys collaborate closely with bailiffs to carry out the enforcement procedures that are best left in the hands of bailiffs. Our chosen attorneys at DDR have a wealth of experience representing clients in French courtrooms. To achieve efficient and pleasing results, they have built a portfolio of legal partners in France. For instance, the debtor is granted a window of time to take voluntary action once a judgment is rendered in our client’s favor.

France's enforcement of debt collection

The verdict must be put into effect within six months of the judgment’s issuing once we have received an official ruling from the French court. A bailiff must serve a judgment on a debtor for it to be carried out. Then a bailiff will be able to use any type of execution procedure to put pressure on your debtor to pay. By French law, creditors have access to a variety of execution tools, including asset searches and seizures, conservatory seizures, bank or vehicle seizures, and more. In France, the bailiff can also register the business on a recognized regional and national database.

France's time limits for collecting debt

Payment claims are subject to a five-year time limit when it comes to debt collection in France. This means that you will no longer be able to file a lawsuit against your debtor after the statute of limitations expires. This rule does have a few exceptions, though. For instance, payment claims under transport law have a one-year statute of limitations, but some claims under construction law have a ten-year statute of limitations. There are various ways for creditors to extend the statute of limitations, including through the debtor’s acceptance of the claim or the filing of a lawsuit.
