In the event of a pecuniary judgement, the legal interest rate is increased by five points at the end of a period of two months from the date on which the judgement becomes enforceable, even if it is provisional. This effect is attached ipso jure to the judgment of auction on seizure of property, four months after it is delivered.
However, the enforcement judge may, at the request of the debtor or the creditor, and in consideration of the debtor’s situation, exempt the debtor from this increase or reduce the amount.
