Enforcement and attachment
Article 16 and a complaint against an enforcement-office act
Article 16 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law governs a complaint to the enforcement court against acts of the enforcement and bankruptcy offices, apart from matters the statute leaves to a court. A complaint is not an objection to a payment order. The period and the date of knowledge are read from the official text and the paper. This page writes no day.
A complaint is a claim that an act is contrary to the statute or does not fit the event. A claim that one does not owe is the subject of a negative declaration. Stopping a payment order is the subject of an objection. The three are not written on one petition with the same result.
The enforcement court is not chosen as the competent court in every sentence of this article. A matter the statute leaves to a court sits outside this complaint. Competence is read from the paper.
