Court debt recovery
Court debt recovery
If amicable recovery efforts have not led to settlement of the obligation, the next stage is to refer the case to court proceedings.
Windykacja.lt provides comprehensive handling of court proceedings in domestic and cross-border matters, representing creditors in Lithuania and other European Union member states.
Every proceeding is preceded by a detailed legal analysis and an assessment of the debtor's financial and asset situation. This allows us to correctly evaluate the chances of effective enforcement of the claim, select the optimal procedural strategy and limit the risk of incurring unjustified costs.
We analyse each case individually, assessing the possibility of applying both European Union law instruments and measures provided for under the applicable national law. Depending on the nature of the claim, the seat of the parties, the location of the debtor's assets and the jurisdiction, we choose the solution that achieves the fastest and most effective result while keeping the costs of the proceedings optimal.
How does court debt recovery work?
Case review and legal analysis
Before referring the case to court, we carry out a comprehensive analysis of the documentation and the legal basis of the claim. We verify, among others, contracts, VAT invoices, CMR documents, proofs of delivery, commercial correspondence and other evidence confirming the existence of the debt. At the same time we analyse the debtor's asset situation, which allows us to assess whether initiating proceedings is justified and how effective further action will be.
Selecting the appropriate procedure
After the analysis, we select the most advantageous route for pursuing the claim. Depending on the circumstances, we use European Union law instruments such as the European Order for Payment (EOP), the European Small Claims Procedure or the European Account Preservation Order (EAPO), or we refer the case to proceedings conducted under the applicable national law.
Securing the claim
In justified cases we take action to secure the debtor's assets before the court proceedings are concluded. In particular, we use instruments provided for by European Union law, including the European Account Preservation Order procedure established by Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as the protective measures provided for by the applicable national law.
Litigation
If the debtor disputes the claim or files an objection, the case continues before the competent court. We represent the Client at every stage of the proceedings, prepare procedural pleadings, conduct negotiations and select procedural solutions ensuring the fastest possible final ruling.
