Execution with Judgment: Process & Fee Advantages

 

An enforcement proceeding initiated based on a court decision, arbitral award, or equivalent documents (like notarized deeds) is called execution with judgment (ilamlı icra). Unlike execution without judgment, the claim here has already passed through a judicial process and become final or enforceable. This directly and positively impacts both the costs and the stages of the execution process.

​

1. Cost Advantages of Execution with Judgment

The initial costs for opening this type of proceeding are much more economical for the creditor:

• Fixed Application Fee: Regardless of how high the claim amount is, a legally determined fixed application fee is paid.

• Advance Fee Exemption: Unlike non-judgmental proceedings, the 0.5% advance fee is not required for monetary claims, significantly lowering initial costs for high-value debts.

• Awarded Attorney's Fee: The legal fees awarded to you in the court decision are also collected from the debtor through this proceeding.

 

2. Initial Costs of the Proceeding

The basic items payable when initiating the file are:

• Application Fee: A fixed statutory opening fee.

• Proxy Fee & Bar Stamp: Mandatory statutory fees for proceedings initiated via a legal representative.

• Notification Expense: Postal costs for sending the official "Execution Order" to the debtor.

• Collection Fee: A percentage deducted by the state once the debt is successfully collected.

 

3. How Does the Process Work?

Upon submitting the judgment to the execution office, an Execution Order is sent to the debtor. The debtor strictly cannot object to this order by simply claiming "I do not owe this debt." They can only request a stay of execution from a higher court or officially prove that the payment has already been made. Thus, execution with judgment is the absolute fastest and most definitive way to recover a debt.
