täitmisreiimi

Täitmisreiimi refers to the enforcement regime in Estonian law. It encompasses the legal framework and practical procedures through which court decisions, arbitral awards, and other enforceable titles are executed. This regime is primarily governed by the Law of Enforcement Procedure. The core purpose of the täitmisreiimi is to ensure that legally binding obligations are fulfilled, providing a mechanism for creditors to obtain satisfaction of their claims when debtors fail to do so voluntarily.

The process typically involves the initiation of enforcement proceedings by a creditor, often through an enforcement agent. Enforcement agents are public officials with specific powers to carry out the execution. Their actions can include seizing assets, garnishing wages or bank accounts, and selling seized property to satisfy the debt. The täitmisreiimi is designed to be fair and balanced, protecting the rights of both creditors and debtors. Debtor's assets are generally only seized to the extent necessary to cover the debt, and there are provisions for debtors to challenge enforcement actions they deem unlawful or unjustified. The regime aims for efficiency and predictability in the execution of judgments.
