During the recognition-enforcement procedure, creditor has the right to demand interlocutory injunction from the authorized court, to seize and freeze the debtor’s movable and immovable assets.

The court shall give its decision about injunctions after evaluate the demand based on the terms given in the Civil procedure Code No.6100 and International Private and Civil Procedure Law No.5718.
After the recognition-enforcement process, creditor

has the right to submit the judgement to the enforcement office to execute the judgement.

Unlike the enforcement without judgement, in this type of execution, debtor shall have no right to object in any way and the enforcement office seize the debtor’s assets immediately, after the creditor submits the judgement to the office.

Debtor’s appealing the judgement does not affect the enforcement, unless debtor claims a bill to suspend a decree from the high court.
