In Tunisia, the matters most often entrusted to a judicial bailiff (huissier de justice) serve three purposes: recovering money owed, proving facts and enforcing court decisions. For unpaid rent or an unpaid invoice, the first step is a formal notice to pay (sommation de payer) served by the bailiff, which precedes a payment injunction or eviction. A bounced cheque leads to a protest for non-payment (protêt), followed by a payment injunction or a seizure. To prove WhatsApp messages, defamation on Facebook, neighbourhood nuisance or construction defects, the bailiff's inspection report (constat) is used: the facts the bailiff personally records are conclusive until challenged for forgery. A judgment, Tunisian or foreign after exequatur, is served and then enforced by bank garnishment, seizure of movables or eviction. These acts are governed by Organic Law No. 2018-9 of 30 January 2018, the Code of Obligations and Contracts (COC) and the CPCC; fees are set by the order of 25 June 2021.
