täitmiseeeskirjad

Täitmiseeeskirjad are regulations or rules that govern the enforcement of legal decisions and judgments in Estonia. These regulations are crucial for ensuring that court orders and other legally binding documents are carried out effectively and in accordance with the law. The primary legislation governing these procedures is the Law of Enforcement Procedure (Täitemenetluse seadus).

The purpose of täitmiseeeskirjad is to provide a framework for bailiffs (täitevolinikud) to carry out enforcement actions. These actions can include seizing assets, garnishing wages, or evicting individuals from property to satisfy debts or other obligations established by a court. The regulations aim to balance the rights of the creditor to be compensated with the rights of the debtor to be treated fairly and to have certain essential assets protected from seizure.

Key aspects covered by täitmiseeeskirjad include the initiation of enforcement proceedings, the types of enforcement measures that can be taken, the procedures for notifying debtors, and the rights of appeal available to debtors. They also detail the responsibilities and powers of bailiffs, including their authority to access information and take action to enforce judgments. The regulations are designed to ensure transparency and accountability in the enforcement process.
