In general, the order for payment procedure in Italy allows quick access to an enforcement order because, unlike in Germany, a single-stage procedure is followed (see above LINK TO Order for Payment Procedure in Italy). The actual duration of the order for payment procedure varies depending on the workload of the court seized but has been considerably reduced since the introduction of electronic service of pleadings and court documents. Some judicial districts (e.g. Modena) even provide for the possibility of electronically issued enforcement clauses - currently still in test operation. The order for payment is usually issued within two weeks. If it is possible to manage all deliveries electronically, the claim can be collected within 4-5 months in the case of a provisionally enforceable order for payment. If the order for payment is not provisionally enforceable, the claim can be collected after 6-7 months - provided the debtor is solvent.
