Government presents amendments and addenda to law on Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts

Within the enforcement proceedings stemming from the specifying the provisions on spreading penalty on the salary of the physical person's debtors and other kind of incomes, designing the debtor physical persons' additional social guarantees, as well as ensuring the efficiency of the action implementation, the Government presented amendments and addenda to the law On Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts.

The issue was debated at April 26 sitting of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs.

As the RA Deputy Minister of Justice Levon Balyan presented, in case of the claimant's consent, irrespective of the availability of the property belonging to the debtor by the right of ownership, opportunity is designed to spread the penalty on the latter's incomes. The key rapporteur noted that the mentioned regulation, without avoiding the importance of the enforcement of judicial acts subject to implementation, creates additional guarantee for the protection the debtor's social status, as the spreading penalty on incomes is already a basis for not fulfilling actions aimed at compulsory enforcement of the debtor's property.

It is also proposed by the draft that after spreading penalty on the debtor's incomes the total sum of the debtor's incomes should not be less from the amount of the minimum salary established by law. "The proposing regulation creates additional guarantee in ensuring the debtor's social guarantees," Levon Balyan detailed.
