The Project

The DEUCE Project focuses on improving the enforcement of judicial decisions in cross-border pecuniary claims by expanding and enhancing the SCAN/SCAN-II project to cover European Enforcement Orders (EEO) and European Orders for Payment (EOP). The project aims to create dedicated roadmaps for EEO and EOP enforcement across EU Member States.

Addressing Enforcement Challenges

Cross-border enforcement of judicial decisions remains challenging due to the lack of harmonization of enforcement rules across Member States. This makes it difficult for citizens, legal professionals, and enforcement agents to navigate the various national procedures when seeking to enforce EEO and EOP decisions in other EU countries.

Project Solutions

The DEUCE Project addresses these challenges through:

  • Creating comprehensive roadmaps for EEO and EOP enforcement procedures in all EU Member States
  • Developing digital tools to guide users through cross-border enforcement processes
  • Providing comparative analysis of national enforcement rules
  • Enhancing access to justice for citizens and businesses across the EU

Stakeholder Engagement

The project actively engages with key stakeholders including lawyers, bailiffs, consumer associations, and policymakers to ensure the practical relevance and effectiveness of its outputs.
