Enforcing a judgment in the Netherlands is, as a rule, not a court filing — it is an act of a gerechtsdeurwaarder (court bailiff), who serves the judgment and takes enforcement measures. The bailiff’s charges are fixed by a separate statute, the Besluit tarieven ambtshandelingen gerechtsdeurwaarders (Btag), and are not a court griffierechtThe mandatory court fee payable to the Dutch court registry (de griffie) to bring or proceed with a case, fixed by the Wet griffierechten burgerlijke zaken (and, for administrative appeals, the Algemene wet bestuursrecht). It is a flat banded amount that depends on the court, the value of the claim and the party type — a court cost, not a lawyer fee. The Netherlands has no statutory lawyer tariff.Glossary → under the Wet griffierechten burgerlijke zaken. A fresh court fee arises only if a new dispute is brought — an executiegeschil (enforcement dispute) before the rechtbank, which is then itself a civil case. Because the dominant, routine enforcement cost is the bailiff’s fee rather than a court fee, Tarifo treats these cases as out of scope for the griffierecht engine: the calculator returns no court-fee figure and points to the Btag. As elsewhere on the Netherlands calculator, there is no statutory lawyer tariff.
Enforcement of a money judgment
Enforcement of a money judgment — recovering an unpaid sum after judgment, typically by instructing a deurwaarder to attach goods, wages or bank accounts (beslag).
You pursue it after obtaining a money judgment the debtor has not satisfied; the deurwaarder serves the judgment and carries out the attachment.
No court griffierecht. Routine enforcement is a deurwaarder act priced under the Btag, not a Wgbz court fee — so the calculator computes no griffierecht here. A court fee would arise only if an executiegeschil (enforcement dispute) is filed before the rechtbank, which is a separate civil case.
Compute this case in the calculatorEnforcement of a non-money order
Enforcement of a non-money order — for example compelling compliance with an injunction or the surrender of an item — also carried out by a deurwaarder, often backed by a dwangsom (penalty payment) set in the original judgment.
You pursue it when the other party has not complied with a non-monetary order and enforcement measures are needed.
No court griffierecht. Like money-judgment enforcement, this is a deurwaarder act under the Btag, not a court fee. The calculator returns no griffierecht; a court fee only arises for a separate executiegeschil before the rechtbank.
Compute this case in the calculatorEnforcement in the Netherlands is a bailiff (gerechtsdeurwaarder) act priced under the Besluit tarieven ambtshandelingen gerechtsdeurwaarders (Btag) — a separate statute — so there is no court griffierecht for routine enforcement, and the calculator returns no fee for these cases. A court fee arises only for a fresh enforcement dispute (executiegeschil) before the rechtbank. The Netherlands has no statutory lawyer tariff.
