The bill (Reg. No. 2328a) is aimed at changing the procedure of notifying the debtor of the eviction time and date. Particularly, it is suggested to introduce a new version of part three of article 78 of the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, changing the procedure of notifying the debtor of the eviction time and date. The necessity of introducing suggested amendments lies in the fact that the debtor may not receive the letter about eviction in case it is sent not by registered mail and thus can not exercise court’s judgment.  

It was noted that the bill suggests introduce a new version of part three of article 78 of the Law. 

The Committee members paid attention to the fact that the bill includes an incorrect reference to part five of article 31 of the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” as it does not stipulate the order of delivery of documents of enforcement proceedings. Since article 79 of the Law includes provisions on state enforcement officer notifying the debtor and judgment creditor on the date and time of eviction, people’s deputies thinks that when refining the bill it is necessary to harmonize amendments, suggested by the bill, with article 79 of the current legislation.
