If you have received from the court a payment order, electronic payment order, European order for payment or exchange payment order regarding an obligation with which you do not agree, it is necessary to follow the attached instruction and lodge an objection or objection to such order within the time limit imposed. This is the only way you can defend yourself further against the claim.

Against the payment order, the defendant (obligated) must submit a so-called resistance within 15 days (for a European order for payment within 30 days) from the date of delivery. Such an objection can also be filed on the form available on the website justice.cz. As a rule, the court also provides for a longer additional period within which the defendant must send to the court a statement of claim, i.e. arguments and, where appropriate, evidence on the basis of which the defendant disputes the claim.

If the defendant receives a promissory payment order, he must file objections within 15 days, which must even be justified. Objections which the defendant does not raise within this period shall no longer be able to raise at a later date. The court then orders a hearing only on those raised objections and then decides by judgment whether to keep the exchange order in force or to cancel it and to what extent.

If the defendant accepts the issued payment order and does not file within the prescribed period of 15 days, then the defendant does not file the so-called opposition in time, the payment order acquires legal force and becomes an enforceable writ of execution.
