A judicial bailiff (huissier de justice, عدل منفذ) is a sworn public and ministerial officer governed by Organic Law No. 2018-9 of 30 January 2018. Only a bailiff is legally empowered to officially serve judicial and extrajudicial documents, draw up inspection reports (constats) that are authoritative until challenged through a forgery proceeding (inscription de faux), and enforce court decisions (seizures, evictions). Bailiff fees are set by the joint order (arrêté) of the Ministers of Justice and Finance of 25 June 2021. Maître Nabil Baffoun has practised in Tunis since 1998, at 32 avenue de la Liberté (Lafayette), within the jurisdiction of the Tunis Court of Appeal. The office operates throughout Greater Tunis — Lafayette, Les Berges du Lac, La Marsa, Ariana, Ben Arous, La Manouba — and coordinates acts across all 24 governorates, including for Tunisians living abroad. ## Our Areas of Practice We are recognized experts in the legal field, offering efficient and reliable judicial bailiff services.
