Legal overview
An interim enforcement dispute concerns temporary relief, while a substantive dispute asks the enforcement judge to decide a legal objection within that judge’s jurisdiction, such as the effect of a subsequent payment.
Practical steps
Keep the enforcement instrument, dates, service records and proof of payment or ownership. Check the rules governing any stay, security, appeal and time limit for the specific procedure.
