Morocco's injonction de payer procedure and saisie conservatoire asset freezes give creditors real tools, but the five-year limitation period means older claims need attention quickly.
Reflecting its legal heritage, Morocco's payment order procedure closely follows the French injonction de payer system, giving creditors a relatively fast route to an enforceable title for undisputed commercial debt.
A precautionary attachment (saisie conservatoire) can freeze a debtor's assets or bank accounts before final judgment, which is particularly valuable when there's a real risk the debtor could move assets during litigation.
