F.A.Q.

Security rights are legal instruments that provide a creditor with security for the payment of a claim. Examples include pledges and mortgage rights. These rights give the creditor, under certain conditions, a stronger position if the debtor fails to meet their obligations.
A pledge right is usually established over movable assets, claims, or other property rights. A mortgage right relates to registered property, such as houses or commercial buildings. Both security rights can give the creditor the possibility to recover their claim with priority from certain assets.
A creditor can generally enforce a security right when the debtor fails to fulfil their obligations and is in default. The exact conditions depend on the type of security, the agreements made, and the applicable legal rules.
Enforcement of a security right means that a creditor uses the security right to enforce payment of their claim. This can be done, for example, by selling the pledged asset or the mortgaged property, so that the proceeds can be used to repay the debt.
In the event of enforcement, the ranking of creditors is of great importance. A creditor with a valid security right often has priority over other creditors. The distribution of the proceeds depends on the statutory ranking rules and the specific circumstances of the case.
Yes, depending on the situation, it may be possible to legally challenge an enforcement. This may be the case, for example, if a security right has not been validly established, the creditor is not authorised to proceed with enforcement, or the enforcement is carried out incorrectly.
