Introduction to Enforcement Under Austrian
Law
Austrian courts are known for their efficiency, and this also
applies to the enforcement of (foreign and domestic) judgments.
The relevant provisions of domestic law pertaining to
enforcement proceedings are contained in the Austrian Code of Civil
Procedure (CCP – Zivilprozessordnung) and the
Austrian Enforcement Act (EA – Exekutionsordnung).
Moreover, as Austria is a member state of the EU, the relevant
regulations apply, such as Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 on
Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in
Civil and Commercial Matters.
