lo27004001 Law 43/2014, 18 December, of saig Law 43/2014, 18 December, of saig since the General Council at its session of 18 December 2014 has approved the following: Law 43/2014, 18 December, of saig preamble the enforcement of judgments in civil matters in the Principality of Andorra has always been attributed to batlles , in its condition of jurisdictional bodies of first instance. So it is clear of the chapters IV and VI of book II of the Manual Digest, written in 1748, when Antoni Fiter i Rossell reveals that "Contact Causas Civilians [...] preseheix of the two Magistrates that they are forewarned by the parties [...] carrying the sentence son due effect, and Execucio within this term, Espay and 13 days of Justice, [10 of Justice] y 3 de Gracia, which is Consedixen atots [...] ", or" Sidintre los referred 13 days or ask the parties not sentenciae latae diae lletras of Apell Expired, these in order of birth, will put the running sentence in Magistrates them [...] ".
In addition to the Decree of the veguers of 6 may 1916, which introduced minimum standards to ensure proportionality in the seizure of the assets of the debtor and the fair assessment and appropriate the goods auctioned or allocated subsequently to the creditor, it was not until seventy years later that, for the first time, regulates in more detail the procedure of execution of judicial decisions in civil matters , under annex III of the Decree of 4 February 1986 veguers. This regulation confirms the attribution of competence to a seasoned jutjador of first instance, which, however, and regardless of the very specific changes that were introduced by articles 93 to 96 of the transitional law of judicial procedures, of 21 December 1993, years ago that has become insufficient and poorly adapted to the current social and economic circumstances.
In administrative matters, the execution of the judgments does not Charter of nature up to the approval of the law of the administrative and tax jurisdiction, on November 15, 1989, that makes it possible for the first time the jurisdictional protection of the rights of the parties in the relationship of the people with managed public administrations, and of the public administrations between them. The title V of this law regulates the procedure of execution of the administrative legal rulings, but also of administrative acts, by the Mayor of the Administrative Section of the Court of magistrates, in accordance with the specific modifications arising from articles 182 and following of the transitional law of judicial procedures. This regulation, which once again is confident the jurisdiction the right to run in an administrative matter, also presents some gaps arising from the time elapsed since the adoption of the law of the administrative and tax jurisdiction.
Beyond the lack or inadaptacions the regulations of execution already mentioned, since the year 1993 has been noting that the model established in general in paragraph 1 of article 9 of the law of Justice, on 3 September 1993, which attributed to the magistrates and the courts exclusive competence to execute and enforce judicial decisions , does not allow to give a satisfactory response to the problems arising from the increasingly important number of civil and administrative judgments, and administrative acts that require, in order to be executed by the jurisdictional protection forced. It is a reality that, on the other hand, has worsened in recent years as a result of the economic crisis and that, without a substantial increase in the human and material resources allocated to the administration of Justice, an alternative little timely in the times in which we must contain public expenditure, does not seem to be able to solve or mitigate. All this in is that often the resolutions and acts mentioned above cannot be executed automatically or are not in a reasonable time.
The execution of a court order includes the right to have an equitable process within a reasonable period, recognized in article 6 of the European Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, which is part of the Andorran legal system, but also the fundamental right to due process and to a jurisdiction, which enshrines the article 10 of our Constitution. Thus, the Andorran State has the duty to guarantee to every person the beneficiary of a decision of Justice firm, the right to be executed in a reasonable time.
It is for this reason that it was necessary to promote a reform of the existing model, following the directions that I already pointed out in a foreboding the preamble of the Decree of 4 February 1986 veguers, according to which: "a new regulation of the executions of the firm legal rulings intended to avoid the delays that often occur in this area and at the same time release the Batlle of functionality available to it perfectly."
Thus, it was considered appropriate to move the competition to run civil and administrative judgments firm and administrative acts that are executoris, and consisting of all cases in the payment of a sum of money, it initially, it later to a specialized and independent executor, acting however by delegation and under the control of the competent judicial or administrative authority in accordance with the option more and more widespread in the countries of our environment, for the purpose of rationalizing public expenditure and reduce the terms of execution of judicial decisions.
The name of saig that is given to the executor is a term borrowed from an existing figure in our historical legal tradition, which are echoing both the Manual Digest as the Andorran Politar, written in 1763 by Antonio Puig, and also The Coutume d'andorre, published in 1904 by Jean-Auguste Brutails. It is clear from these works that, historically, the batlles succeeded the essays, but it is no less true that the Latin term of saio often translates to usher, who is an executive agent, which is why it has been considered that this is an appropriate benchmark.

Therefore, in order to regulate the figure of saig and the procedure of compulsory execution with regard to which is competent, and to update the regulations minimally in terms of executions of the civil judgments, in anticipation of the approval of a code of civil procedure, it has promoted the law of saig. This law is divided into two titles, the first of which consists of six chapters, which are broken down into forty-six articles, three transitional provisions, a repeal and six final provisions.
The first chapter of the title and regulates the General provisions relating to the profession of saig. The Saiga is defined as the professional of law invested public function which gives authority to run via the civil and administrative judgments enforced and administrative executoris, under the control of the organ that has dictated these acts and resolutions. Then lists the other functions of an accessory, that can carry out the Saiga; establishes the territorial scope of activity of saig and develops the concept of the obligation of the service relative to the main function that has been entrusted with, and also with regard to one of the accessory functions. After fixing the causes of abstention and challenge of saig, discriminating and own their condition, it regulates the remuneration, in the form of fees, and will take into account the expenses caused by the exercise of its functions, which in all cases are challenged before the jurisdiction.
The second chapter of the title and determines the procedure for fixing the number of essays, the requirements that must be met in order to exercise the profession, spanning the academic training, good conduct and technical fitness and training, and the rigorous regime of incompatibilities which are subject. Then detailed the selection procedure, based on the principles of objectivity, transparency and publicity, have as their appointment is carried out and what are the grounds for dismissal, and establish the initial and continuous training required in saig.
The third chapter of the title and create the Essays as a body of public law and professional character, you have to belong compulsorily all essays, and details the functions.
The fourth chapter of the title and affects properly in the exercise of the profession of saig, establishing the prohibition of associations in order to guarantee the free choice of the professional, as well as a range of obligations that aim to ensure the proper exercise of public functions that are assigned to the essays. By way of example, these obligations are in the custody and preservation of the records that initiate, in the tank in a short period of time of the quantities that appear in the execution of judgments or administrative acts, or the duty of insurance.
In relation to the fifth chapter of the title, and dedicated to the control of the activity, is the control of the activities of execution that made the jurisdictional or administrative bodies that have issued resolutions or acts executed, the control of the activity of the Saiga, which is in charge of the Ministry responsible for Justice, and which is embodied in the inspections and the possibility of promoting a disciplinary procedure.
In this sense, the sixth chapter of the title and refers to the regime of responsibility. In particular, subject to disciplinary responsibility and defines the Saiga competent body to deduct this responsibility, as well as its composition. Also lists the rights of saig which is the subject of a disciplinary procedure, and regulates this procedure and provisional measures that can be adopted, always from the perspective of respect for the General principles of law in administrative sanctioning. Below are listed the infringements which can make the saig in the exercise of their functions, which can be very serious, severe and mild, as well as the corresponding penalties. It also notes the prescription of infringements and penalties mentioned, the graduation of these sanctions, the extinction of the responsibility and the annotation procedure and sanctions, as well as the rehabilitation.
The title II is devoted to the regulation of the procedure of compulsory execution carried out in saig. In this sense is clear, with the initial character, which corresponds to the civil and administrative judgments and administrative acts executoris that consist of the payment of a liquid amount.
Then, it details the procedure for compulsory execution itself, which begins with the application for execution on the part of the person running. From here, a requirement the person detailed address saige executed and, in case of default, dictates an agreement though, that can be legally challenged. Below is the seizure of property and rights of the person executed, and once resolved the challenge of the agreement though, if this is the case, these alienen property and rights, in accordance with the applicable regulations in this matter. Finally, lists the cases of termination of the compulsory execution procedure.
It also refers to the costs of the procedure of execution. More specifically, we define the costs and determine the people who have to take care, and, at the same time, fix the obligations of saig in relation to the application for payment of the sums received in the procedure of execution. Finally, there is the notification of termination to the body that has issued the resolution or the Act executed and establishes a rule pertaining to the calculation of deadlines.
The law follows with three transitional provisions that, among other issues, regulate the regime applicable to the procedures of forced execution of the civil and administrative judgments that are being processed to the date on which the first essays take possession of its functions.

The repealing of Decree derogates veguers of May 6, 1916; the final part of article 4 of annex III of the Decree of 4 February 1986 veguers, and article 95 of the transitional law of judicial procedures, as a result of the attribution of the prerogative to execute judgments which consist of the payment of a liquid amount in saig and, above all, bearing in mind that the new law of the embargo detailed and updated regulation establishes the procedure of seizure and of evaluation and transfer of goods and embargoed rights within the framework of the implementation of these resolutions.
This transfer of authority, as well as the attribution to the general administration and faculty in the Commons to run by themselves are administrative acts passed and executoris, in accordance with the law on modification of the code of the Administration, has also motivated the modification of article 9 of the law of Justice and articles 92 and 94 of the transitional law of judicial procedures final provisions, through the first and second.
The third final provision modifies article 1 of annex III of the Decree of 4 February 1986 veguers, with the aim of regulating in detail the procedural formalities that have to be accomplished once the person running the forced execution of the judicial resolution urges civil, and until it is in a position to request this execution in saig.
Finally, the law concludes with three other final provisions that qualify the first final provision, which partially amends the law of Justice, the Government entrusted the publication of consolidated texts and fix the date of entry into force in two of the articles and the transitional provisions, repeal and the end of the law.
