Legal Context

Cross-border debt recovery within the EU is supported by the European Payment Order (Regulation 1896/2006) for uncontested monetary claims, the European Enforcement Order (Regulation 805/2004), and the Brussels I bis Regulation more generally, which facilitates recognition and enforcement of a judgment from one member state — including against assets in the Czech Republic.

When to Contact a Lawyer

If a debtor in the Czech Republic doesn't respond to demands, it is worth discussing with a lawyer which tool best fits the size and nature of the claim (European Payment Order, a claim before a Czech court, or enforcing a foreign judgment in the Czech Republic).
