FAQ

When can a court issue a writ of payment?: A writ of payment in proceedings by writ of payment may be issued only on request included in the statement of claim and only if the claim is substantiated by the documents specified by law.

In any case concerning a pecuniary claim a court may issue a writ of payment in so called admonishment proceedings. These proceedings resemble proceedings by writ of payment with the difference that in case of effective submission of an objection (which means that such objection is filed without any formal defects resulting in its rejection), the writ of payment loses its effectiveness and the proceedings are continued by way of the ordinary or commercial procedure. If, on the other hand, the objection is not filed or is rejected for any reasons, the writ of payment has the effect of a final judgment.
