Legal Guide: Disputes, Duties and Enforcement

A sum may be collected from an individual or a legal entity due to various obligations under a contract (failure to fulfill contractual obligations) or as compensation for damage caused by a tort (e.g., in the case of a car accident, damage caused by providing/not providing a service, etc.).

The state duty for property disputes is 3% of the value of the dispute in the first instance (for a natural person, no more than 3000 GEL / for a legal entity, no more than 5000 GEL).
In the second instance, it is 4% (for a natural person, no more than 5000 GEL / for a legal entity, no more than 7000 GEL).
In the third instance, it is 5% (for a natural person, no more than 6000 GEL / for a legal entity, no more than 8000 GEL).

Provisional measures can be applied both before and after the initiation of the claim.

To ensure a claim provisional measures may be implemented by a court order and can include the seizure or restriction of material and immaterial goods (such as real estate, claims, vehicles, bank accounts, etc.).

A state duty of 50 GEL must be paid to request provisional measures (for both natural and legal persons).

The National Bureau of Enforcement should be contacted to initiate compulsory enforcement after the court's decision has entered into force and an enforcement order (writ) has been issued.

To initiate compulsory enforcement, a state fee of 2% of the amount to be collected is required, but no less than 50 lari.
