Litigation & Property Lawyers in Bulgaria

The most important responsibilities of litigation & property lawyers are to prepare all legal documents necessary for court procedures in Bulgaria required from the defense or assistance representing and defending clients before any other court & public authorities in the country.

Our experience shows that in the last years many disputes raised between developers purchasers in Bulgaria. Most often the reason is a breach in the Preliminary contracts and non-performance of obligations. Purchasers claim for compensations or refund of the money which they invested into apartment projects. Developers refuse to give back the money they had taken.

NEWS & CHANGES in BULGARIAN LITIGATION PROCEDURES

We are following all changes in Bulgarian legislation concerning the litigation procedures and trials.  Bulgaria’s Parliament adopted significant amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure concerning the debt collection cases. They limit the powers of private enforcement agents and remove the possibility for people to be sued for accrued liabilities without knowing. The most important issue is the amount of charges for filling of enforcement cases has been also reduced.

From that moment, the debtors will no longer be sued in enforcement cases without getting of knowledge. The last changes in the Bulgarian litigation procedures introduce the legal requirement for three visits to the debtor’s home address, as the intervals between the visits should be a week. After that a message on the front door or mailbox should be placed. The changes also provide for notifications to be delivered at the workplace. The private bailiffs’ fees, which unitl now have been particularly unfair for small debts, will be decreased.

An opportunity is introduced for citizens to pay their debts during the trial. They will also be able to challenge property valuations when the property is released for public sale. This is aimed at ending the practices of one’s property being sold at a cheap price and the owner remaining ‘eternal debtor’. In addition, Parliament adopted that there should be proportionality between the enforcement to the debtor and the amount of the debt.

Private enforcement agents will se subject to sanctions when for small debts they restrain all bank accounts and property.
