Пример употребления: A claimant may wish to commence enforcement proceedings where the defendant has failed to pay a judgment entered against him. Enforcement proceedings can be started as soon as judgment is obtained, although usually a claimant will wish to wait 14 days to allow the defendant time to pay in full. (stephensons.co.uk).
Consumer Focus says individuals quite rightly assume that once a judgment is awarded by the court, full and prompt payment should follow – but this is frequently not the case.
"Those who don't receive payment find themselves initiating enforcement proceedings, which cost money, but, more worryingly, often fail to recover compensation," it says, warning of the "high and growing number" of enforcement cases. (The Guardian).
