[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, the time limit for raising objections to enforcement varies depending on the object. For objections to enforcement actions, they should be raised before the end of the enforcement process; for objections to the enforcement target (such as houses, equity), they should be raised before the end of the enforcement of the target, unless the target is transferred to the party concerned. According to Articles 232 and 234 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (amended on December 24, 2021), if the party or interested person is dissatisfied with the objection to the enforcement action, he/she may apply for a review to the people's court at the next higher level within ten days from the date of service of the ruling; if the third party is dissatisfied with the objection to the enforcement target, he/she may file a lawsuit challenging the enforcement of the target within fifteen days from the date of service of the ruling.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios
Such questions are often encountered in several situations: First, the creditor finds that the court's seizure and attachment measures are erroneous and wants to know when to raise objections; Second, a third party (such as the actual owner of the house) learns that his or her property has been subject to enforcement and is worried about exceeding the time limit; Third, the objection to the enforcement act is confused with the objection to the enforcement subject, resulting in an error in the judgment of the time limit; Fourth, after the objection is rejected, the parties do not understand the 10-day or 15-day time limit for review or litigation; Fifth, there are differences in understanding before the termination of the enforcement procedure, especially whether it is possible to raise objections again after the auction of the subject matter has been completed. When handling such cases in the Beijing area, we usually first distinguish whether it is an objection to the act or an objection to the subject matter, and then determine the corresponding time limit. The relevant procedures can be referred to for reference.Creditor's rights and debts, and enforcement casesColumn.
II. Key points of contention
Focus One: The distinction between objections to the act and objections to the subject matter, with different time limits and remedies for the two.

Focus Three: The starting points of the ten-day review period and the fifteen-day objection lawsuit period. Focus Four: The definition of the conclusion of the enforcement procedure and the conclusion of the subject matter enforcement directly affects whether the case can be accepted. Focus Five: Exceptional rules for the subject matter being transferred by the parties. Focus Six: The consequences of raising objections after the deadline and exceptional remedies.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers
Take the enforcement objection lawsuit handled by our firm as an example. Wang Xiaoqin and Liu Tongyi, who had signed a divorce agreement and a relocation settlement agreement, were entitled to three relocation houses, but they were included in the scope of the forced execution of their ex-husband, Liu Weirong. After their enforcement objections were rejected, they entrusted our lawyers to file an enforcement objection lawsuit in accordance with the law, claiming that the relocation houses were obtained based on their joint relocation status and belonged to jointly owned property, unrelated to Liu Weirong's personal debts. The lawyers submitted the divorce agreement and the relocation compensation and settlement agreement to demonstrate that the rights of the relocated persons were independent of those of the evicted persons, and emphasized that the enforcement objection and the enforcement objection lawsuit belonged to different procedures. The court adopted the lawyers' viewpoint and ruled that the enforcement of two of the houses was not allowed and confirmed that they belonged to the two of them. This case shows that after the enforcement objection is rejected, the third party can still file an objection lawsuit within the statutory time limit for substantive review; this case was handled by Beijing Henglu Law Firm.Wang DongThe attorney (practice certificate number: 11101201910090334, subject to the certificate issued by the judicial administrative organ) acts as the agent.
IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis
Action suggestions: First, determine the type of objection. An objection to actions refers to enforcement measures such as seizure and attachment, while an objection to the subject matter refers to the ownership of specific property. Second, an objection to actions should be raised before the end of the enforcement procedure, and an objection to the subject matter should be raised before the end of the subject matter enforcement. For related key points, please refer to the following materials for reference.Special services and other cases1. Column; 2. After the objection is rejected, the party may apply for reconsideration or file a lawsuit within ten days for an objection to the act and within fifteen days for an objection to the subject matter, strictly observing the time limits. 3. For an objection lawsuit, the party should submit evidence of ownership, such as a divorce agreement, a resettlement agreement, a purchase contract, and a certificate of possession. 4. Note the exception that the subject matter is transferred to the party, and take prompt action. 5. Regarding legal basis, Articles 232 and 234 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China respectively stipulate the relief time limits and pathways for objections to the act and the subject matter.
5. Henglue Law Firm's Reminder
Risk Alert: First, the time limit is the lifeline for exercising objections. Objections to the execution of acts must be raised before the conclusion of the procedure, and objections to the execution of the subject matter must be raised before the conclusion of the execution of the subject matter. It will be difficult to obtain relief if the time limit is exceeded. Second, the time limit for review is ten days and for litigation is fifteen days, starting from the date of delivery of the ruling. Please do not miscalculate it. Third, the paths of objections to acts and objections to the subject matter are different. Confusion will lead to missing the correct time limit. Fourth, if the subject matter has been auctioned off and acquired by the party concerned, the scope for objections is extremely limited. For matters involving resettlement, expropriation, and ownership, you can refer to the relevant provisions for guidance.Land expropriation and demolition, and administrative litigationColumn. It is recommended to entrust a lawyer to lock the time limit and evidence as soon as possible.
VI. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Within what timeframe must an objection to enforcement be raised?
There are statutory time limits for raising objections to enforcement actions, and it will be difficult to seek remedies after the time limit has passed. Objections to enforcement actions should be raised before the conclusion of the enforcement process; objections to the subject matter of enforcement should be raised before the conclusion of the enforcement of the subject matter to which the objection refers, except where the subject matter has been transferred to the party concerned. After the objection is rejected, an application for reconsideration of the objection to the enforcement action may be made within ten days from the date of service of the ruling, and a lawsuit challenging the subject matter of enforcement may be filed within fifteen days. Therefore, the key is to identify the type of objection as early as possible and lock in the corresponding time limit. Delaying it may easily result in the loss of rights.
Q2: What evidence do I need to prepare when raising an objection to enforcement?
The following materials should be prepared: documents proving the enforcement actions and the subject matter, such as enforcement notices and seizure announcements; evidence of ownership and rights, such as divorce agreements, resettlement agreements, purchase contracts, and property registration; proof of possession and use, such as property fee and utility payment records; objection application forms and service receipts; and, if filing an objection lawsuit, prepare the litigation requests and factual grounds. These materials are used to prove the legitimacy of the objection and ownership claims, which are the basis for acceptance and winning the case. The earlier the evidence is fixed, the more beneficial it will be.
Q3: How much does it cost to file an objection to enforcement?
Generally, there are no additional fees for raising an objection to enforcement. If a lawsuit is filed to challenge the enforcement, the fees will be charged according to the amount of the litigation claim, with the court collecting the fees. After winning the case, the other party may be required to bear some of the fees. If a lawyer is hired, the lawyer's fees will be negotiated based on the complexity of the case. The specific amount will be evaluated based on whether a lawsuit is filed, the amount of the claim, and the workload of the evidence. It is recommended to first determine the legal path and then decide on the budget.
Q4: How long does it usually take to handle an execution objection?
The review of objections is usually quick, and the court makes a ruling within the statutory time limit. If the party is not satisfied with the ruling, the review or litigation will be handled separately: the review will be conducted by the court at the next higher level, and the objection lawsuit will generally not exceed six months in the first instance and about three months in the second instance. If the subject of the auction is about to be sold, the time is particularly urgent. The key is that both the objection and the subsequent remedies should be initiated strictly on schedule to avoid procedural inefficiency.
Q5: How to raise an objection after receiving the enforcement ruling?
The first step is to determine whether it is an objection to the action or an objection to the subject matter, and to set the corresponding time limit; the second step is to submit a written objection before the execution process or the termination of the execution of the subject matter; the third step is to file for reconsideration within ten days after the objection is rejected for an objection to the action, and to file a lawsuit within fifteen days for an objection to the subject matter; the fourth step is to submit evidence of ownership and possession in the lawsuit against the objection; the fifth step is to hire a lawyer if necessary.
