The legislative initiative on Making Amendments and Addenda to the Law on Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts is aimed at making certain clarifications to the above-mentioned law. The Deputy Minister of Justice Grigor Minasyan noted about this during the NA regular sitting convened on October 4.

According to the Deputy Minister, the draft proposes to establish the possibility of a separate enforcement action by another enforcement officer within the framework of enforcement proceedings and the possibility of carrying out separate support actions by another structural subdivision of the enforcement service or another employee. The regulations on combining several enforcement proceedings that are interrelated or have fully or partially overlapping members of enforcement proceedings into one proceeding or on separating the proceedings with separate requirements from one enforcement proceeding will also be introduced.

Grigor Minasyan noted that the proposed regulations will contribute to the increase in efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement actions.

The Chair of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs Vladimir Vardanyan presented the endorsement of the Head Committee. Highlighting the presented draft, he noted that the workload of the Compulsory Enforcement Service is too great, and it should be dealt with equally. “We must take all measures to be able to create a situation where a person is not burdened or overburdened enough to carry out proceedings,” the Committee Chair noted.

The RA Deputy Minister of Justice Grigor Minasyan, presenting the draft law on Making Amendments and Addenda to the Law on Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts in the first reading, noted that the draft is really aimed at the improvement of internal processes and actions of the compulsory enforcement service.

According to the Deputy Minister, with the proposed amendments and addenda, it is planned to regulate the process of seizing property within the framework of enforcement proceedings, to specify the scope of the persons who have the authority to seize the property, to fix the prohibition of handing over the confiscated property to the debtor or to persons related to him. Grigor Minasyan emphasized the importance of the proposed amendments, presenting the powers of the enforcer, the regulations of expenses for the protection of the property in detail.

It will also be possible to reduce the workload of the enforcer and increase the efficiency of enforcement proceedings with the adoption of the draft.
