Act on Administration and Recovery of Court Receivables

(Act No. 65/2001 Coll. on Administration and Recovery of Court Receivables)

This act governs administration and recovery of court receivables, rights and obligations of administrators of court receivables, status of a judicial treasury, execution of judgements, as well as division and use of proceeds from executions.

A court receivable is defined as the receivable resulting from decision-making and other activities of the courts which are connected with an obligation to pay court fees, criminal proceeding fees, penalties, witness and expert fees and other court proceeding costs.

The court, to which a court receivable has arisen, shall be the administrator of court receivables until entering into an agreement on transfer of court receivables' administration. From this date, court receivables shall be administrated by the Regional Court in Bratislava acting in a position of the judicial treasury. The judicial treasury administrates court receivables, represents the Slovak Republic as an entitled person (beneficiary) and enforces court receivables.

Subject to the terms and conditions stipulated by this act, the judicial treasury may enter into an agreement with an obliged person on instalments, may defer payment of court receivables, may temporary or permanently desist from execution of court receivables. The judicial treasury may also forgive receivables, fully or partially, for serious reasons.

The judicial treasury executes receivables through execution of judgement and it starts such an execution by a virtue of its office (ex officio). An enforceable decision imposing the relevant financial payment shall be the execution title.

This Act shall be in force from 1 April 2001.
