The situation of non-enforcement of judgments has become alarming. The most significant problem for businesses is in the enforcement of judgments against the state since the legislation provides extremely limited tools for enforcement of such decisions. Because of this, the business is forced to lodge complaints with the Council. During the seminar, we shared the practice of investigating such complaints.
In particular, we considered:
- Status of enforcement of court decisions from the perspective of the BOC's practice
- Practical observation of legal liability for non-enforcement of the court decision (based on BOC's cases)
- Problem points related to enforcement of the non-monetary decisions issued against state authorities (issuance of permits, registration actions, amendment of databases etc.)
- Enforcement of monetary decisions by the State Treasury Service (moratoriums and state guarantees)
- Judicial control over the enforcement of court decisions
