Debt Collection Morocco: A CFO's Legal and Procedural Map

Published March 31, 2026·English

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.

01 - Injonction de payer mirrors the French model

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.

02 - Saisie conservatoire freezes assets pre-judgment

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.

03 - Five years is the outer limit

Morocco's commercial limitation period runs five years, and creditors who let a Moroccan file sit inactive risk losing the claim entirely, making early engagement more valuable than in longer-limitation jurisdictions.
