Frequently asked questions
What is the order for payment procedure?
An order for payment allows you to ask the president of the court to order the debtor to pay a sum of money owed under a written document (acknowledgement of debt, accepted invoice, bill of exchange). It starts without an adversarial hearing, which makes it faster than ordinary proceedings. The debtor can still challenge the order within the legal time limits.
What can you do with a bounced cheque?
The payee first has the bank certify the lack of funds (certificate of refusal to pay or protest). The payee can then bring a civil claim for payment and file a complaint, as issuing a cheque without sufficient funds is an offence under the Commercial Code (Law No. 15-95). Getting paid remains the priority, and the strategy is decided case by case.
