2. Judicial letter
Formal 30-day judicial letter under Article 2128 interrupts prescription and triggers payment in ~60% of cases.
3. Precautionary warrant
Where the debtor is dissipating assets, we secure a precautionary warrant to freeze bank accounts.
4. Civil Court action
Full merits action in the First Hall of the Civil Court, typically 6–12 months to judgment.
Legal framework
Commercial claims in Malta are governed by the Code of Organization and Civil Procedure (Chapter 12). The general prescription period for commercial obligations is five years, extended by judicial letter under Article 2128 of the Civil Code. Enforcement runs through the First Hall of the Civil Court in Valletta, with garnishee orders (mandati ta' sekwestru) commonly used to freeze debtor bank accounts.
