Please note that the form is available in all official languages of the European Union; this may help you fill in the form in the required language. If the defendant lodges an opposition to your claim, proceedings will continue before the competent courts in accordance with the rules of ordinary civil procedure. If you do not wish to continue proceedings in that event, you should also fill in Appendix 2 to this form. This appendix should reach the court before the European order for payment is issued. If the application concerns a claim against a consumer relating to a consumer contract, it must be lodged with the competent court of the Member State in which the consumer is domiciled. In other cases, the application must be lodged with the court having jurisdiction in accordance with the rules of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 (*). Information on the rules of jurisdiction can be found at the European e-Justice Portal https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_jurisdiction-85-en.do Please make sure you duly sign and date the form on the last page. Guidelines At the start of each section you will find specific codes that should be inserted, as appropriate, in the relevant boxes. 1. Court When deciding which court to choose, you need to consider the grounds for the court’s jurisdiction. 2. Parties and their representatives This field must identify the parties and their representatives (e.g. lawyer of, guardian of), if any, in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. The box [Identification code] should refer, where applicable, to the special number which solicitors have in certain Member States for the purposes of electronic communication with the court (see Art. 7(6), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006), to the registration number for companies or organisations or to any applicable identification number for natural persons. The box [Other details] may contain any other information that helps to identify the person (e.g. date of birth, position of the named person in the company or organisation concerned). If there are more than four parties and/or representatives, please use field [11]. 3. Grounds for the court's jurisdiction See ‘Important information’ above. 4. Cross-border nature of the case For you to be allowed to use this European order for payment procedure, at least two of the boxes in this field must refer to different States. 5. Bank details (optional) In field [5.1], you may inform the court by what means you intend to pay the court fees. Please note that not all methods of payment in this field are necessarily available at the court to which you are making this application. You should verify which method of payment will be accepted by the court. You can do this by contacting the court concerned or by consulting the website of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters (http://ec.europa.eu/civiljustice/). If you choose to pay by credit card or to allow the court to collect the fees from your bank account, you should give the necessary credit card/bank account details in Appendix 1 to this form. In field [5.2], you may indicate by what means you wish to receive payment from the defendant. If you wish to be paid by bank transfer, please give the necessary bank details. 6. Principal This field must contain a description of the principal and the circumstances forming the basis of the claim in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. You need to use an identification number (‘ID’) for each claim, numbering them from 1 through 4. Each claim must be specified on the line of the box following the ID number, by filling in the relevant numbers of codes 1, 2 and 3. If you need more space, please use field [11]. The box [Date (or period)] refers, for instance, to the date of the contract or harmful event or to the period of the rent. 7. Interest If interest is sought, this should be specified for each claim in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. The code must contain both the relevant number (first row of the codes) and the letter (second row of the codes). For instance, if the interest rate has been agreed by contract and covers annual periods, the code is 02A. If it is for the court to decide the amount of interest the last box [to] should be left blank, and code 06E should be used. Code 01 refers to an interest rate laid down by statute. Code 02 refers to an interest rate agreed by the parties. If you use Code 03 (capitalisation of interest), the amount indicated should be the basis for the remainder of the term to be covered. Capitalisation of interest refers to the situation where the accrued interest is added to the principal and is taken into account for the purpose of calculating further interest. Please note that in commercial transactions as referred to in Directive 2000/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (**), the statutory interest rate is the sum of the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent main refinancing operation carried out before the first calendar day of the half-year in question (‘the reference rate’), plus at least seven percentage points. For a Member State which is not participating in the third stage of economic and monetary union, the reference rate referred to above is the equivalent rate set at national level (e.g. by the national central bank). In both cases the reference rate in force on the first calendar day of the half-year in question will apply for the following six months (see Article 3(1)(d) of Directive 2000/35/EC). The ‘base rate (ECB)’ refers to the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its main refinancing operations. 8. Contractual penalties (if applicable) 9. Costs (if applicable) If reimbursement of costs is sought, these must be described using the codes indicated on the form. The box [specification] must be used only for code 02, i.e. when reimbursement of costs other than court fees is demanded. These other costs could include, for instance, fees of a claimant’s representative or prelitigation costs. If you request reimbursement of the court fees but you do not know the exact amount, you must fill in the box [Code] (01) but you may leave the box [Amount] blank and it will be filled in by the court. Costs should be stated in the same currency as the principal. 10. Evidence available in support of the claim This field must specify the evidence available in support of each claim using the codes indicated on the form. The box [Description of evidence] will contain, for instance, the title, name, date, and/or reference number of the document concerned, the amount mentioned on the document concerned, and/or the name of the witness or expert. Text of image 11. Additional statements and further information (if necessary) You may use this field if you need more space for any of the fields above or, if necessary, to provide additional information useful to the court. For instance, if there are several defendants each being liable for a portion of the claim, you should indicate here the amount individually owed by each defendant or if you request joint liability of two or more defendants. Appendix 1 Here you must indicate the details of your credit card or bank account if you choose to pay the court fees by credit card or if you allow the court to collect the fees from your bank account. Please note that not all methods of payment in this field are necessarily available at the court to which you are making this application. Please note that the information given in Appendix 1 will not be sent to the defendant. Appendix 2 Here you must inform the court what should happen if you do not wish to continue proceedings in the event of the defendant opposing the claim. Please use the appropriate code. One of the options is that proceedings continue in the European Small Claims Procedure (***). That procedure applies, however, only if your claim does not exceed EUR 5 000. You can find further conditions for this procedure in the European e-Justice Portal at: https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_small_claims-42-en.do If you choose this procedure, please indicate also what should happen if the procedure cannot be applied. Please tick the appropriate box. If you send this information to the court after having sent the application form, please make sure you fill in the case number given by the court. Please note that the information given in Appendix 2 will not be sent to the defendant.
