FINDING COMPETENT COURTS/AUTHORITIES
The search tool below will help you to identify court(s)/authority(ies) competent for a specific European legal instrument. Please note that although every effort has been made to ascertain the accuracy of the results, there may be some exceptional cases concerning the determination of competence that are not necessarily covered.
Article 29(1)(a) - Courts with jurisdiction
The parties competent for issuing payment orders are: for claims falling within the competence of the district court, i.e. claims not exceeding twenty thousand (20 000) euros, the district court judge; for claims exceeding twenty thousand (20 000) euros, the judge of the single-member court of first instance.
However, the district court judge is competent to issue payment orders, especially associated with any disputes arising from tenancy agreements, where the agreed monthly rent does not exceed six hundred (600) euros. If the agreed rent is more than six hundred (600) euros, the single-member court of first instance is competent.
Article 29(1)(b) - Review procedure
The review procedure must be launched by lodging an objection against the payment order before the district court judge or the judge of the single-member court of first instance who issued the payment order.
Article 29(1)(c) - Means of communication
The standard form in the Annex to the Regulation should be submitted to the secretariat of the competent court in writing. It is also possible to submit it by email, on the e-codex digital platform or via the digital platform for the submission of legal documents where these media are available.
Article 29(1)(d) - Accepted languages
Greek is the permitted language.
