Der Gerichtsvollzieher und seine Aufgaben in Portugal | O Agente de Execução e as Suas Funções em Portugal

The Portuguese legislature decided only in 2003 to introduce the judicial-officer-system. The Portuguese judicial officer "Agente de Execução" was created. The French judicial officer served as a model, and yet Portugal, like Germany, went its own way in implementing and structuring the judicial officer and his duties. This thesis examines this relatively new enforcement body and its tasks in detail. Finally, differences to the German bailiff are highlighted. Essential norms from the Portuguese Code of Civil Procedure were translated into German for this purpose and are part of the work.
