Enforcement and Insolvency
For a party holding an established claim, enforcement is the stage at which the right is actually collected. On the debtor's side, the periods for objecting are counted in days.
In enforcement proceedings without a judgment, the debtor may object within seven days of service of the payment order, and the proceedings then stop. The creditor may apply to the enforcement court to have the objection removed, or bring an action before the general courts to set the objection aside; that action must be brought within one year of the objection being served. In enforcement specific to negotiable instruments the objection period is five days and, as a rule, an objection does not of itself stop the proceedings.
Debt enforcement, actions to set aside an objection, attachment, and setting aside an auction.
