Life situations
Cross-border cases
If your debtor is domiciled or habitually resident in another EU Member State, you can use a European order for payment procedure.
Debtors in Denmark are exempt from this.
If the claim does not exceed 5,000 euros, you can also use a European Small Claims Procedure.
These two procedures enable you to enforce cross-border claims more easily, more quickly and at lower cost.
In addition, you still have the option of asserting your claim using the national court procedures (civil action, judicial order for payment procedure) and enforcing against your debtor abroad on this basis.
