Chapter I: General conditions of performance.

No judgment or deed may be enforced except on presentation of a certified copy, unless otherwise provided by law.

Judgments may not be enforced against those against whom they are opposed until they have been notified, unless enforcement is voluntary. In the event of enforcement solely on the basis of the original document, presentation of the latter is equivalent to notification.

Proof of enforceability arises from the judgment where it is not subject to any suspensive appeal or is provisionally enforceable. In other cases, this proof results from: – either the acquiescence of the convicted party; – or from notification of the decision and a certificate making it possible to establish, by reconciliation with this notification, the absence, within the time limit, of an opposition, an appeal, or an appeal in…

Any party may obtain from the registrar of the court before which the appeal could have been lodged a certificate attesting to the absence of any opposition, appeal or appeal in cassation or indicating the date of the appeal if one has been lodged.

Releases, cancellations of security interests, entries, transcriptions or publications that must be made by virtue of a judgment are validly made in view of the production, by any interested party, of a certified copy of the judgment or an extract therefrom and, if it is not provisionally enforceable, proof of its enforceability. This proof may take the form of a certificate drawn up by the lawyer.

No execution may be carried out before 6 a.m. or after 9 p.m., nor on public holidays or non-working days, except by permission of the judge in case of necessity.
