is no longer responding to your reminders, and has ignored your formal notice. Filing a payment order with the commercial court is often the next logical step. It\u2019s a quick, inexpensive process, and you don\u2019t even have to appear before a judge\u2014provided you prepare it properly and take into account the rules that changed on September 1, 2026.   <\/p>\n\n<aside class=\"dsr-key\" aria-label=\"L'essentiel\">\n<h4>The Essentials in 30 Seconds<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A payment order allows a party to obtain an <strong>enforceable judgment<\/strong> without a hearing, upon simple request, for a debt that is certain, liquid, and due.<\/li>\n<li>In commercial court, it pertains to claims between merchants or commercial entities. <strong>There<\/strong> is <strong>no minimum or maximum amount<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You must file the case <strong>with<\/strong> the court <strong>in your debtor&#8217;s jurisdiction<\/strong>, not your own.<\/li>\n<li>For orders issued on or after September 1, 2026, you have <strong>3 months<\/strong> (rather than 6) to have them served by a judicial officer.<\/li>\n<li>Your client then has <strong>one month<\/strong> to file an objection.

The president reviews them alone, without hearing from your client; this is known as a <strong>non-adversarial<\/strong> proceeding. If the president finds the request to be well-founded, he or she issues an <strong>order for payment<\/strong>, which you then have served on the debtor.  <\/p>\n<p>The debtor may file an objection. If the debtor does not do so within the prescribed time limit, the order has the force of a judgment, and you may have the debtor\u2019s accounts or property seized. In practice, the vast majority of orders are not contested: in fact, many delinquent payers pay as soon as they receive a visit from the court officer.  <\/p>\n<p>The procedure is set forth in <abbr title=\"Code of Civil Procedure\">sections 1405 et seq. of the Code of Civil Procedure<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"conditions\">\n<h2>02Is <span class=\"dsr-num\">your<\/span>claim eligible?<\/h2>\n<p>Not everything goes through a payment order.

And it must not be time-barred: between merchants, you generally have <strong>five years<\/strong> to take action (Article L. 110-4 of the Commercial Code). <\/p>\n<div class=\"dsr-note\">\n<h4>The Right Instinct<\/h4>\n<p>If your client has already written to you to dispute the quality of the service, a delay, or a failure to comply, a payment order is probably not the right tool. They will file an objection, and you will have wasted your time. In this case, it\u2019s better to consider a preliminary injunction or a summons to hear the merits of the case (discussed <a href=\"#alternatives\">below<\/a>).  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"tribunal\">\n<h2><span class=\"dsr-num\">03Which<\/span>court should I file a case with?<\/h2>\n<h3>Commercial Court or General Court<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Commercial Court<\/strong> has jurisdiction when the claim is of a commercial nature: between merchants, between commercial entities (SARL, SAS, SA, etc.), or in connection with a commercial transaction. If your client is a self-employed professional, an association, a civil partnership, or an individual, the case falls under the jurisdiction of the <strong>civil court<\/strong>, which has different forms and rules. <\/p>\n<h3>The debtor&#8217;s court, not yours<\/h3>\n<p>This is the most common mistake. To file a payment order, you must file with the court in <mark>the debtor\u2019s<\/mark> place <mark>of residence<\/mark>\u2014that is, the court where a company has its principal place of business. The clause in your Terms and Conditions that designates the court in Bordeaux as having jurisdiction does not apply here. If your client is based in Toulouse, the case must be filed with the Commercial Court of Toulouse.   <\/p>\n<p>If the debtor is located within the Bordeaux jurisdiction, you will find practical information on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avocat-desrumaux.fr\/en\/bordeaux-commercial-court-registry\/\">the contact details and procedures for the Bordeaux Commercial Court Clerk\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dsr-note\">\n<h4>Good to Know<\/h4>\n<p>Since January 1, 2025, twelve commercial courts have been piloting a new format: the <strong>Economic Activities Court<\/strong> (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nanterre, Versailles, Le Havre, Le Mans, Limoges, Nancy, Avignon, Auxerre, and Saint-Brieuc). If your client has its principal place of business within one of these jurisdictions, that is the court where the case must be filed. Bordeaux is not part of the pilot program.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"dossier\">\n<h2>0<span class=\"dsr-num\">4 Prepare<\/span>the file<\/h2>\n<p>The judge doesn&#8217;t know you, your client, or your business history.

But we always recommend it. It specifies the amount claimed, shows the judge that you gave the client a chance, and often results in payment without having to take the matter further.

Decree No. 2026-96 of February 16, 2026, reduced the time limit for serving the order. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"dsr-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;An order for payment is void if it has not been served within three months of its date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite>Article 1411 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended by the decree of February 16, 2026<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This three-month deadline applies to orders <strong>issued on or after September 1, 2026<\/strong>. For orders issued before <strong>that<\/strong> date, the previous six-month deadline continues to apply. <\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, as soon as you receive the order, forward it to a judicial officer (formerly known as a bailiff). If the deadline expires, the order is void and you\u2019ll have to start over from scratch. With a debtor who\u2019s hard to locate, three months go by quickly.  <\/p>\n<p>Another new development: the judicial officer must now make supporting documents available to the debtor electronically. This means your client has access to your entire case file\u2014which is yet another reason to handle it with care. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"opposition\">\n<h2><span class=\"dsr-num\">08If<\/span>your customer files a dispute<\/h2>\n<p>The debtor has <strong>one month<\/strong> from the date of service to file an objection, if the document was served personally. If service was not made personally, the one-month period does not begin until the first document is served on the debtor in person or, failing that, until the first enforcement measure that freezes the debtor\u2019s assets (such as a garnishment of the debtor\u2019s bank account). <\/p>\n<p>The opposition turns the proceeding into a traditional trial. The court summons both parties to a hearing and issues a judgment that replaces the order. Two points to watch for:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must present <strong>the notice of service<\/strong> of the order at the hearing, or your claims may be declared inadmissible (this is another change effective in 2026);<\/li>\n<li>In the Commercial Court, representation by an attorney is generally required if the amount in dispute exceeds <strong>\u20ac10,000.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An objection isn&#8217;t necessarily bad news.

Add late payment penalties to the principal amount (at the rate specified in your Terms and Conditions, or, failing that, at the ECB rate plus 10 basis points) and a flat-rate compensation of \u20ac40 per invoice. The breakdown must be clear and justified.  <\/p><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>My client is in receivership\u2014can I still take action?<\/summary>\n<div><p>No. The initiation of insolvency proceedings prohibits individual legal actions.
