Electronic payment order
The proposal for the introduction of electronic payment order, which was approved by the Government last year, has now taken its legal form. Thus, from 1 July 2008, creditors will be able to lodge court applications for a payment order in electronic form. Similar to other steps in the process of introducing e-justice, this instrument is aimed to save time, administrative load and costs.
A creditor who wishes to collect his receivable can now complete an electronic form available on the website of the Ministry of Justice, sign it using his authorised electronic signature and send it to the competent court. The form will ensure that the applicant furnishes all substantial data and will provide information on the documents to be submitted. If the form is properly completed and the creditor pays the court fee, the judge will confirm it with his electronic signature and the payment order will be sent to the creditor.
The further procedure is identical as for the usual payment order. The defendant may lodge a protest within 15 days of receipt of the electronic payment order, in which case the court will annul the electronic payment order.
Payment order in paper form will continue to exist in addition to electronic payment order; however, creditors will be financially motivated to use the electronic form – the court fees will be only half of those for an order in paper form.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm Holubová advokáti s.r.o. for their professional yet genuinely compassionate approach in an exceptionally difficult period of my life.
The firm successfully represented me in a dispute with my health insurance company concerning reimbursement for a medication that enables me to actively fight an oncological illness and has already begun to show positive treatment results.
From the very outset, I felt a high level of expertise, thoroughness, and a genuine interest not only in the case itself but also in the person behind it. All legal steps were explained clearly and comprehensibly, and the communication was factual, calm, and supported by clear arguments. In a time of great uncertainty, this provided me with a much-needed sense of reassurance and trust.
My special and greatest thanks go to JUDr. Klára Dvořáková, whose commitment, precision, and empathy meant more to me than can be conveyed in just a few sentences. Her work was not only highly professional but also marked by human sensitivity and deep respect for the seriousness of the situation.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance combined with a truly human approach."
