FAQ

How does a party defend itself against the enforcement of an unfavourable court order or decision?: Another interim remedy which should be mentioned is the suspension of enforcement. In fact it is usually classified as a means of securing claims, however it has a slightly different character than other means of security. It relates to situations where enforcement of a court decision which can be or already has been challenged may cause irreparable damage to a party.

It is a means of defence for a defendant in cases when a court decides on immediate enforceability of a judgment which is not yet final.

Suspension of enforcement can be also demanded when although a judgment is final, a defendant intends to file a final appeal (cassation).
