The document in your hand decides both the type of proceedings and how fast they move. An invoice, a current-account statement or a contract supports proceedings without a judgment. A negotiable instrument — a cheque, a bond or a bill of exchange — opens the faster route under Article 167 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law (No. 2004). A court judgment, or a document treated as one, supports judgment-based proceedings.

Negotiable instruments are quicker precisely because they narrow the debtor’s scope to object. More generally, the clearer and more definite the document makes the debt, the smaller the risk that an objection stops the proceedings in their tracks. The due date, the interest rate and the acceleration conditions all have to be carried correctly into the request as well. We look at your document set, choose the route with the best prospect of actually producing money, and complete what is missing before filing rather than after.
