Where to start
- Unpaid invoice, no court decision yet: start with debt collection and the payment order procedure.
- Disputed contract or damages: see claims and litigation against Romanian companies.
- You already have a court decision from abroad: see enforcing a foreign judgment in Romania.
- Check the limitation period early: commercial claims expire if not pursued in time.
