[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, a written objection shall be submitted to the court responsible for enforcement. The Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (amended in 2023 and implemented on January 1, 2024) stipulates that if a party or an interested person believes that the enforcement action violates the law, they may submit a written objection to the people's court responsible for enforcement. The people's court shall review the written objection within 15 days from the date of receipt, and if the grounds are well-founded, it shall revoke or correct the enforcement decision; if the grounds are unfounded, it shall reject the objection. If the party is dissatisfied with the decision, they may apply for a review to the people's court at the next higher level within 10 days from the date of service of the decision.
1. Problem background and typical scenarios
In practice, parties often raise objections after the seizure, attachment, freezing, auction, restriction on consumption, or inclusion in the list of untrustworthy individuals. Common situations include: believing that the seizure of property exceeds the scope of the judgment; believing that the appraised price is obviously too low; being dissatisfied with the distribution plan; believing that there is an excessive seizure or selective enforcement in the execution process. Beijing area courts have clear requirements for the form and reasons of written objections. Objections with vague reasons or merely expressing dissatisfaction are often difficult to gain support. It should be noted that there are often differences in the statements of the same fact by both parties to the dispute, so the role of original vouchers and written documents is particularly prominent; at the same time, the time limits of relevant procedures are usually relatively short. Once you miss the key node, it may directly affect the realization of rights. You should prepare and keep evidence as soon as possible. In the specific analysis, it is recommended to take the timeline as the main line, and match the contracts, vouchers, transaction records and relevant legal basis one by one, forming a clear processing framework, which is conducive to judging the order and feasibility of various claims.
II. Key points of contention
First, the subject of the objection is the party concerned, the interested party, or a third party. Second, the objection targets the enforcement action or the substantive rights of the enforcement subject. Third, the time limit and formal requirements for raising the objection. Fourth, whether the review is conducted in writing or requires a hearing. Fifth, whether to apply for reconsideration or file an objection lawsuit after the ruling. Sixth, how to balance the differences in cost, time limit, and effectiveness between different remedial paths. Seventh, whether there are procedural flaws in the actions of the administrative organ or the other party. Eighth, whether the calculation basis and evidence for the losses are sufficient and whether corresponding supporting documents can be provided. Ninth, whether there are justifiable grounds for mitigating or exempting liability. In addition, attention should also be paid to whether the form of evidence is legal, whether key facts can be corroborated, and the differences in cost, time, and feasibility of different handling solutions. On this basis, the priority path to be pursued can be determined.
III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm
The practical experience of Henglue Lawyers is that the first step of an objection is to ensure accuracy. If the objection targets the enforcement measures themselves, such as sealing up assets beyond the scope of the judgment, failure to serve the documents in accordance with the law, or illegal procedures in the evaluation and auction of assets, an objection to the enforcement actions should be raised. If the claimant asserts that the property being executed actually belongs to him or her, such as purchasing a house under another person's name or obtaining it through divorce settlement, this constitutes an objection by a third party and requires separate handling, possibly leading to a lawsuit challenging the objection. When writing an objection, the specific enforcement actions, the violated legal provisions, the rights affected, and the request should be clearly stated, and supporting evidence such as ownership certificates, appraisal reports, and repayment records should be attached. For cases where the seized assets are the sole housing of the family or involve their basic living needs, the consequences of the affected rights should also be explained to facilitate the court's careful review. After the objection is rejected, it is important to note the ten-day review period and initiate subsequent procedures in a timely manner.
