## Compelling Contract Performance — the Court Route

When a counterparty fails to perform its contractual obligations, compulsion in Georgia runs through the courts and enforcement proceedings. The Civil Procedure Code regulates this route clearly: what a statement of claim must contain, in which cases the judge refuses to accept it, how a claim is secured for the future enforcement of the decision, and when forced enforcement becomes admissible. This page explains these stages on the basis of the Code's relevant provisions — every detail comes directly from the text of the law.

In practical terms the process resolves into four steps: drafting the claim correctly, passing the acceptance stage, securing the claim where needed, and finally enforcing the decision that has entered into force. Each stage carries formal requirements whose neglect can cost time and money.

### What must the claim contain?

Subject of the dispute, price of the claim, facts and evidence, the demand with its legal grounds, party details and proof of the state fee.

### When may the judge refuse the claim?

Within 5 days of filing — for lack of jurisdiction or an existing decision or settlement act in the same dispute.

### What is securing of a claim?

A lien on assets, a prohibition of actions or sequestration where their absence would complicate enforcement of the future decision or cause irreparable damage.

### When is forced enforcement admissible?

Only after the decision has entered into legal force; before that compulsion is inadmissible.
