Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud. I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement. The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank. If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper? I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left. Is there any other legal recourse? Thanks

Q: I registered a Performance Order lawsuit. I received a decision in my favour. The respondent received a notice to register an appeal within 15 days. The 15 days have elapsed. What is the next step to register an execution case? There is no judgement in the file, only the decision obliging the respondent to pay and then the decision that respondent has 15 days to file an appeal. Should I make a petition for "Executive Writ" now or register an execution case directly?

Q: What is a performance order in a civil case (money claim)?

Q: A civil company owes me money. They issued written and signed acknowledgment of debt. I want to start a performance order lawsuit against the civil company. Since it is a civil company, the law states that the manager and partner are liable from their personal assets in case the company cannot pay. Question: Should I register only the civil company as a respondent? Or should I register two respondents in the lawsuit: the civil company as respondent 1 and the manager/partner as respondent 2?
