Course Content

In the subject ‘Enforcement and seizure related to the  notarial profession’ the function of the notary is central in insolvency law. The notary plays an important role in enforced settlement agreement of real estate and his specific assignments and tasks are analysed in this subject.

This subject is broken into two important parts: on one hand is the study of civil law execution procedure, on the other hand is the study of the collective execution procedure (bankruptcy, collective debt service, Continuity of Enterprises Act).

The course starts with a general introduction in the law of sequestration, in order to familiarise all students with the basic rules of sequestration. The core material consists of the study of executive seizure and order of priority. Particular attention is paid to notary responsibilities regarding this, namely the drawing up of conditions and terms of sale and the format of the deed of priority. In addition, attention is also given to seizure of immovable property and the role of the notary in the seizure of moveable property. The knowledge of civil law enforcement rules are confronted with the rules of collective procedures, where attention is given to the confrontation of the civil law rules with particular and deviant rules of such collective procedures.
