Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between judgment and non-judgment enforcement?

Judgment enforcement relies on a court decision, instrument equivalent to a judgment, or negotiable instrument, and the debtor's objection does not stop it automatically (Enforcement Code arts. 32 ff.). Non-judgment enforcement is used for promissory notes, invoices or simple claims; a timely objection halts the proceeding. Selecting the right track saves significant time. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.

What are the limitation periods for claims?

The general limitation period is 10 years (Code of Obligations art. 146). Special periods apply: 5 years for recurring obligations, rent, interest and wages; 2 years from discovery of the wrong and tortfeasor — and 10 years in any event — for tort damages. Time-barred claims are much harder to enforce. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
