Common questions
- What comes after the final demand in Liechtenstein?
- If the debtor does not pay, you can apply orally or in writing to the Princely Court of Justice (Landgericht) for a conditional payment order (bedingter Zahlbefehl), for any amount (§§ 577, 578 ZPO). The application gives your and the debtor's names, occupation and residence, and the amount and legal ground of each item (§ 580 ZPO). The court decides without hearing the debtor (§ 581 ZPO); the order tells the debtor to pay within 14 days of service or to object (§ 582 ZPO).
- How can a debtor resist a Liechtenstein payment order?
- By lodging an objection (Widerspruch) with the Landgericht, orally or in writing, within 14 days of service, without giving reasons (§§ 582, 584 ZPO); disputing only part, the debtor must state the amount exactly (§ 585 Abs. 2 ZPO). The objection takes away the order's force, and the creditor bears the costs of the order for the time being (§§ 585, 587 ZPO). You then have to sue or start the Mandatsverfahren (§ 587 Abs. 2 ZPO). Without an objection, the debtor faces enforcement (Exekution, § 582 Abs. 1 Ziff. 3 ZPO).
- Which interest and costs may a creditor in Liechtenstein claim in the demand?
- The statutory interest of 5% a year (§ 1333 Abs. 1 and § 1000 Abs. 1 ABGB), unless another rate was agreed; between businesses, eight percentage points above the reference rate the Amt für Volkswirtschaft publishes each half-year, plus a flat CHF 60.00 (Art. 336b and 336d ADHGB). The debtor is in default from the agreed payment day, otherwise from your demand (§ 1334 ABGB). The letter claims no collection fee; a term on such fees binds a consumer only if they are shown separately and itemised (Art. 8 Abs. 1 Bst. p KSchG).
- Does a reminder stop the limitation clock in Liechtenstein?
- No. Limitation is interrupted only if the debtor acknowledges your right or you sue and pursue the claim properly (§ 1497 ABGB). An application for a payment order counts as a claim for this purpose (§ 589 Abs. 1 ZPO); if the debtor objects, limitation is treated as suspended only until the objection (§ 589 Abs. 2 ZPO). If the period is about to end, do not wait for an answer to this demand.
