The decreto ingiuntivo (arts. 633 ff. Code of Civil Procedure) allows creditors to quickly obtain an enforceable title for certain, liquid, and due claims supported by written evidence. The quality of the petition and its exhibits determines the issuance of the order and any grant of provisional enforceability.
In brief
A petition for a payment injunction under arts. 633 ff. of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure requires certain, liquid, and due claims supported by written evidence, including invoices and certified ledger extracts under art. 634. AI-assisted drafting facilitates structuring facts, legal bases, and calculations for principal, default interest under Legislative Decree 231/2002, and costs. Requirements include determining jurisdiction under art. 637, requesting provisional enforceability per art. 642, and filing indexed documents through the electronic civil process.
The steps
- 1.
Verify the claim's requirements
The claim must be certain, liquid, and due, as well as supported by qualifying written evidence (such as invoices accompanied by a certified ledger extract under art. 634, contracts, or acknowledgements of debt).
- 2.
Identify the competent court
Determine jurisdiction by value (justice of the peace or tribunal) and territory (art. 637), factoring in any contractual forum clauses.
- 3.
Structure the petition and requests
Set out the facts, the legal basis of the claim, and the calculation of principal, interest (including default interest under Legislative Decree 231/2002 for commercial transactions), and costs; request the injunction and, where grounded, provisional enforceability under art. 642.
- 4.
Prepare the electronic file
Attach the power of attorney, docket registration note, and indexed exhibits, then file through the electronic civil process, checking court fees and duty stamps.
