Vollstreckungstitelgestützten
Vollstreckungstitelgestützt refers to a legal concept in German law pertaining to the enforcement of judicial decisions. It signifies that a specific enforcement action is based upon a valid and legally recognized "Vollstreckungstitel," which translates to an enforcement title. This title is a document that formally establishes a claim and grants the holder the right to enforce it through legal means. Common examples of enforcement titles include final court judgments, court-ordered settlements, and notarial deeds that are declared enforceable. Without such a title, initiating enforcement proceedings for a claim is generally not possible. The existence of a Vollstreckungstitel is the fundamental prerequisite for the state's coercive measures to be lawfully applied against a debtor. The process of obtaining and utilizing a Vollstreckungstitel is a crucial element of civil procedure, ensuring that legal rights established by a court or other recognized authority can be effectively realized. This concept underpins the principle of effective legal protection and the enforceability of judgments in the German legal system.
