Complaint against an enforcement officer
Deadline calculator for a complaint against an enforcement officer
Enter when you learned of the enforcement officer’s resolution, action, or inaction, and select the route. For Lviv cases, do not confuse a court complaint under the Civil Procedure Code with working days under the Law on Enforcement Proceedings.

Complaint deadline calculation
Select only a calendar scenario whose applicability has been checked. Following Law No. 4833-IX, parts one and two of Article 74 conflict over the competent court for certain complaints, including those concerning fees, remuneration, costs or fines. Selecting a mode does not determine the competent court or applicable deadline.
For a court complaint under the Civil Procedure Code during enforcement of a court decision in a civil case.
This may be the date you received the order, a bank notification, ASVP data, or the enforcement officer’s response.

- the period is estimated to still be running: in 10 days
Before calculating, check the enforcement document, the subject of the complaint and the competent court under the current wording of Article 74. Do not choose the longer 10 or 3 working days simply because that mode allows more time: a court complaint under the Civil Procedure Code uses calendar days.
The brief summary is easy to paste into a message to a lawyer or save for yourself.
What this calculation shows
For complaints about an enforcement officer, first determine the route. Under the Civil Procedure Code, a court complaint in a civil case has a 10-day period, or 3 days for a resolution postponing enforcement actions. Article 74 of the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” uses 10 or 3 working days.
The calculation provides a quick calendar estimate. Before filing, identify the case number, the decision or inaction, the enforcement officer, the underlying document, and the procedural route for challenging it.
Calculation methodology
Methodology for calculating the complaint deadline
The user selects a route: a court complaint under the Civil Procedure Code or a deadline under the Law on Enforcement Proceedings.
The date when the person learned or should have learned of the violation is entered.
For the court route, the calculator adds calendar days and moves a deadline that falls on a weekend.
For a working-day calculation, the calculator excludes Saturday and Sunday.
Example
Calculation example
The debtor in Lviv saw an account attachment at the bank and received the enforcement officer’s order on June 8, 2026.
- Route: court complaint under the Civil Procedure Code
- Date it became known: 08.06.2026
- Period: 10 calendar days
Estimated last day for a court complaint: June 18, 2026. If the selected route is indeed counted in working days, the calendar date may differ.
Separately check whether the enforcement officer’s action itself is being challenged, which procedural route applies and whether the instrument authorizing enforcement must be challenged.
What to check in the documents
- The enforcement officer’s order, bank notice, ASVP data, or other evidence of the violation.
- Enforcement proceeding number, and details of the enforcement officer, creditor, and debtor.
- The enforcement document on the basis of which the proceedings were opened.
- Proof of the date you learned of the decision, action, or omission.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the calculator use both calendar and working days?
Because different sources set different rules. For a court complaint in a civil case, the Civil Procedure Code provides 10 or 3 days, while Article 74 of the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” refers to 10 or 3 working days.
Is it enough to know the date the account was frozen?
Not always. The order, enforcement proceeding number, enforcement officer, and the date you learned of the infringement must be established.
Where to file a complaint against an enforcement officer?
The route depends on the document being enforced and the subject of the complaint. Law No. 4833-IX amended part one of Article 74 concerning enforcement of court decisions, including orders for fees, remuneration, costs and fines; part two retains provisions on the administrative court. Because of this conflict, do not select a court solely from the order’s title: check the underlying document, current case law and the applicable procedural code.
What to do if the time limit has already expired?
Need to assess evidence of when the violation became known and whether to request renewal or argue that the period has not yet begun.
