Repeated Enforcement Application after Termination for Ineffectiveness

In its decision of 16 July 2025 (Case No. 20 Cdo 1114/2025), the Czech Supreme Court confirmed that even if enforcement proceedings are terminated due to ineffectiveness, the creditor may file a new enforcement application in the same matter.

However, the creditor may be required to pay an adequate advance on enforcement costs if requested by the bailiff. Should it turn out that the debtor has no assets, the bailiff may terminate the renewed proceedings without having to wait as long as in the original enforcement.
