The Ministry of Justice refuted myths regarding the draft law on the digitalization of enforcement proceedings

A number of manipulations and untrue statements are spreading around the draft law No. 14005 adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, which provides for the digitalization of enforcement proceedings. The Ministry of Justice emphasizes that the document does not change the basic principles of the execution of court decisions, but only modernizes the procedures.

Digitalization without changing the essence

As the department explains, the new law is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the system – reducing bureaucracy, speeding up processes and increasing transparency. At the same time, the key mechanisms for debt collection remain unchanged.

Myths about “total control”

One of the most common statements is the alleged automatic inclusion of all debtors in the Unified Register and blocking their accounts even for insignificant amounts of debt.

The Ministry of Justice emphasizes that such statements are not true. The law does not provide for the automatic application of restrictions without following the current procedures.

In addition, the current protection guarantees remain: if the amount of debt does not exceed 432,350 hryvnias, enforcement actions against the debtor’s sole residence are not applied.

Benefits for citizens

The digitalization of enforcement proceedings should significantly simplify citizens’ interaction with the system. In particular, it is envisaged:

automation of processes;

clearer and more understandable procedures;

automatic removal of restrictions after debt repayment;

reduction of risks of abuse.

The Ministry of Justice emphasizes that the reform is aimed at a balance between effective enforcement of court decisions and proper protection of citizens’ rights.
