ABSTRACT
The Institution of the Judicial Enforcement Officer and the Conduct of Enforcement Proceedings in Poland and Selected European Countries – A Comparative Law Perspective
Konrad Przywara, judicial officer; ORCID: 0009-0002-5123-3608
The article presents the institutional and legal position of the judicial enforcement officer in Poland based on the provisions of the Act of 29 August 1997 on Judicial Enforcement Officers and Enforcement Proceedings, as well as the current Act of 22 March 2018 on Judicial Enforcement Officers. The primary objective of this study is to compare the legal status of judicial enforcement officers in Poland with their counterparts in selected European countries. The text contains references to various forms of enforcement procedures and the competences of judicial enforcement officers. The procedures for appointment, management of enforcement offices, and sources of financing are compared. Several European countries where enforcement of claims is institutionalised are identified and analysed. Each section characterises the institution of the judicial enforcement officer and the legal and procedural framework of enforcement proceedings in the respective states, with reference to the Polish model. The conclusion presents analytical considerations and a comparative summary of elements that could be implemented within the Polish system of judicial enforcement.
