Toolkit on the European Account Preservation Order: The Order

Image


1. Decision on the application for the Preservation Order (article 17)

As soon as the court receives the request, it checks if the conditions and requirements of the regulation are fulfilled.

Where the creditor has not provided all the information the court may, unless the application is clearly inadmissible or unfounded, give the creditor the opportunity to complete or rectify the application within a period of time to be specified by the court.

If the creditor fails to complete or rectify the application within that period, the application shall be rejected.

Where all the conditions are fulfilled, the jurisdiction delivers the European Account Preservation Order in the amount justified by the evidence given by the creditor.

The Order may not under any circumstances be issued in an amount exceeding the amount indicated by the creditor in his application.

The decision on the application shall be brought to the notice of the creditor in accordance with the procedure provided for by the law of the Member State of origin for equivalent national orders.

2. Time-limits for the decision on the application for a Preservation Order (article 18)

2.1. The creditor has not yet obtained a judgment, court settlement or authentic instrument

Where the creditor has not yet obtained a judgment, court settlement or authentic instrument, the court shall issue its decision by the end of the tenth working day after the creditor lodged or, where applicable, completed his application.

2.2. The creditor has already obtained a judgment, court settlement or authentic instrument

Where the creditor has already obtained a judgment, court settlement or authentic instrument, the court shall issue its decision by the end of the fifth working day after the creditor lodged or, where applicable, completed his application.

2.3. Extension of the delay

In three cases, the court can decide to issue its decision after the 5 or 10 days period:
  • When it is necessary to proceed to hearings of the creditor or of witnesses;
  • When the creditor has to provide security, the court shall issue its decision without delay once the creditor has provided the security required;
  • When a request for the obtaining of account information was made, the court shall issue its decision without delay once it has received the information provided that any security required has been provided by the creditor by that time.
