Template:
1. The ……… Court, in its judgment numbered ………, ruled that the debtor must pay the creditor ………
2. The debtor has not paid the amount awarded in accordance with the said judgment.

3. Therefore, it has become necessary to initiate this enforcement proceeding based on the judgment.
10. Add supporting documents
In enforcement proceedings based on a court judgment, the most fundamental document is the judgment itself. In practice, most files include a copy of the decision, the decision with the finality annotation (if applicable), a statement of accounts, and a power of attorney. If the enforcement is based on a document with the nature of a court judgment, that document is also included. Article 38 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law explicitly acknowledges that certain documents are subject to the provisions for the enforcement of court judgments.
Template:

2. Finality certificate (if any)
3. Power of attorney sample
