USAID Fills in Gap in Judgment Enforcement in Bulgaria
14.Sep.2007
On September 14, the Chamber of Private Enforcement Agents presented the first issue of a case book on selected court judgments. The book, the result of assistance provided by the USAID Commercial Law Reform Program (CLRP), was eagerly awaited by the legal community in Bulgaria, and its launch was attended by judges, attorneys, private and state enforcement agents, and other legal professionals.
The project started with a survey of different stakeholders in the enforcement process, aiming to identify the most disputed topics and court practices. An editorial board collected an impressive database of court decisions and analyzed existing jurisprudence.
In her opening speech at the launch event, Deputy Minister of Justice Sabrie Sapundjieva, also a member of the editorial board, said that “The case book comes to replace an existing vacuum in legal space, since District Courts’ decisions on enforcement of judgments usually remain in the folders and are not subject to commentary or public discussion.”
The ambition of the Chamber of Private Enforcement Agents is to turn the publication into a regular issue illustrating and providing solutions to complicated cases and problems on enforcement matters.
