Setting opposition aside: the court, not the office, removes it
Updated on October 24, 2026
Opposition stops enforcement. To resume it, the creditor asks the court to set the opposition aside under the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act. Provisional setting aside generally requires a signed acknowledgement of debt. Definitive setting aside requires a judgment or an equivalent title. The enforcement office serves and executes; it does not decide whether the debt exists. The debtor is summoned. If the opposition is set aside, the creditor may request continuation. If it is refused, the creditor must sue on the merits.
What the DEBA says
The periods in these proceedings are short and appear on the summons. Not attending often leaves the court to decide on the creditor's documents. The Act on Fedlex describes the provisional and the definitive routes.
