Its speed and simplicity make it a privileged tool for creditors seeking effective judicial protection without undergoing a long and costly ordinary process. However, in practice, many debtors resort to dilatory strategies which, while formally supported by law, aim only to delay the fulfillment of the obligation. In this context, the so-called “express” opposition arises, a mechanism that allows the debtor to block the Payment Order Procedure with a minimal submission, without needing to extensively justify their defense. The challenge for the creditor is clear: how to counteract these maneuvers and prevent the procedure from turning into a procedural labyrinth? ✍️ 1. Nature of the Payment Order Procedure and Its Vulnerability • The Payment Order Procedure is characterized by its speed: it is sufficient to document the debt for the court to require the debtor to pay. • The debtor can oppose with a simple submission, even without solid arguments, automatically transforming the Payment Order Procedure into a declarative trial (ordinary or summary, depending on the amount). • This ease of opposition, designed to guarantee the right to defense, opens the door to strategic oppositions whose sole purpose is to gain time. 2. Most Frequent Dilatory Tactics by the Debtor • Generic or unfounded opposition: the debtor merely denies the debt without providing evidence. • Allegations of formal defects: questioning the validity of the order, the active legitimacy, or the sufficiency of documentation. • Excessive evidence requests: requesting unnecessary expert or testimonial evidence to prolong the procedure. • Procedural incidents: raising nullities, recusals, or jurisdictional issues. 3. Creditor Strategies to Neutralize Delay a) Solid Document Preparation • Provide contracts, invoices, certifications, and communications proving the debt from the outset. • Anticipate possible formal objections, ensuring the correctness of powers, legitimacy, and notifications. b) Active Challenge of the Opposition • Request that the judge assess the lack of foundation in the opposition and limit the admission of irrelevant evidence. • Argue that a generic opposition does not comply with the principle of adversarial proceedings and should be dismissed. c) Use of Precautionary Measures • In cases of insolvency risk, request preventive seizures to secure the credit while the declarative process is resolved. • Justify the urgency and proportionality of the measure to prevent the debtor from depleting assets. d) Monitoring Procedural Incidents • Respond quickly and precisely to nullities or recusals, demonstrating their abusive nature. • Request the court to sanction bad-faith procedural conduct in accordance with Article 247 of the LEC. 4. Importance of Procedural Proactivity The creditor should not simply wait for the court’s decision. A proactive and strategic attitude is essential to: • Reduce procedural downtime. • Prevent the debtor from using the opposition as a shield to continue defaulting. • Convey to the judge the image of a diligent and serious litigant, which may influence the assessment of dilatory conduct. 5. Final Reflection The Payment Order Procedure was born as a swift procedure, but its effectiveness depends on how the debtor’s opposition is managed. The so-called “express” opposition should not become a free pass for non-compliance. The creditor, armed with a solid procedural strategy, can counteract dilatory tactics and preserve the spirit of the Payment Order Procedure: fast, effective, and accessible justice. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Civil Online Process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
