Legal action for non-payment

Legal action for non-payment is one of the most common proceedings conducted before civil courts. It most often refers to payment of liabilities, for instance, under a sale agreement, tenancy agreement, service provision agreement.

In the case of overdue accounts receivable, when payment reminders are not effective and there are no chances for the counter-party to pay overdue accounts payable willingly, filing the lawsuit in the court becomes the solution.

The binding provisions of the Civil Procedure Code provide for alternative debt collection procedures. Therefore, there are a few modes of procedures that will enforce debt repayment, depending on a specific background of a case, the kind of accounts payable, the amount of accounts payable.

Regardless of the procedure mode, filing the lawsuit in the court should be preceded by the payment reminder in writing served on the debtor. The content of such a document requires a precise determination of the amount of the accounts receivable, the source of the accounts receivable, and additionally the final payment deadline.

The Barristers’ Office ensures comprehensive services at the stage of the pre-trial proceedings (payment reminders), issuance of the lawsuit, further petitions as well as the barrister’s presence at the court hearing.
