Ten days
The objection period runs from receipt of the order copy.
No merits trial
A timely cancellation request need not prove that no debt exists.
Bankruptcy is separate
The creditor may then sue or file in the insolvency case.
Two different procedures
A justice of the peace issues a payment order without a full hearing for claims listed in the Civil Procedure Code. The order is also an enforcement instrument. Personal bankruptcy is heard by an arbitrazh court and consolidates creditor claims under insolvency rules.
Filing for bankruptcy therefore does not replace an objection. If the order has arrived, observe the civil-procedure deadline and disclose it to the financial manager.
Actions by stage
| Situation | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Copy received, ten days remain | Object to the issuing justice | The order is cancelled; the claimant may sue |
| Deadline missed | Object with evidence of independent reasons | The judge tests the statutory exception |
| Order with a bailiff before bankruptcy | Identify the case and provide the bankruptcy ruling | Enforcement changes subject to exceptions |
| Creditor files in bankruptcy | Review the calculation and object in arbitrazh court | The insolvency court determines the claim |
| Bankruptcy completed | Compare the order with the final discharge | Current or non-discharged claims may survive |
How cancellation works
Article 128 of the Civil Procedure Code allows ten days from receipt. State the court, case number, debtor details, objection to enforcement and request for cancellation. Under Article 129, timely objections require cancellation and the claimant is told it may sue.
If delivery was late, attach the envelope and tracking record, medical or travel documents, address evidence or another independent reason. A bare statement that the debtor did not know may be insufficient.
After bankruptcy starts
During restructuring, Article 213.11 introduces a moratorium and suspends most property-enforcement instruments, subject to statutory exceptions. Pre-petition monetary creditors file in the insolvency case. During asset realization, distributions are made through the estate.
The order may evidence the claim, but the creditor must still follow insolvency procedure. The debtor may challenge amount, interest and ranking.
Practical checklist
- Obtain the order and online case record.
- Record actual receipt and the final objection day.
- File a short objection and retain delivery evidence.
- Check the bailiff database and enforcement number.
- Give the order, bailiff papers and calculation to the manager.
- After completion, provide the final ruling if continued enforcement concerns a discharged claim.

Frequently asked questions
Must the objection explain the merits?
A timely objection may simply oppose enforcement. Detailed merits follow in litigation or bankruptcy.
Does the ten-day period run from issue?
No. Article 128 ties it to receipt of the copy.
Can a late order be cancelled?
Potentially, if independent reasons for late filing are proved with the objection.
Does bankruptcy terminate the order?
Not automatically. It changes enforcement; discharge depends on the claim and final ruling.
Does cancellation erase the debt?
No. The claimant may sue or file in bankruptcy.
