Abstract

   

This article analyses the Slovenian reform of enforcement proceedings based on trustworthy documents, centred on the creation of the Central Department for Trustworthy Documents (COVL). It demonstrates how centralisation, full digitalisation and procedural redesign transformed mass enforcement into a highly efficient, largely automated system, offering transferable design lessons for jurisdictions confronted with high volumes of uncontested debt claims.
