The study by the FPS Economy Price Observatory published on Thursday “confirms the existence of unacceptable practices on the part of certain bailiffs”, declared the Minister of Justice, Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD).
The latter also pointed to the obsolete nature of the pricing of judicial officers. “This system encourages abuse and must be reformed with clear and unequivocal tariffs, as well as stricter disciplinary procedures. This last measure is already in place,” said Van Quickenborne. “The new Disciplinary Council for notaries and bailiffs will come into operation next year. And just as I did for the notarial profession, I now want to tackle the fees and procedures of the debt industry. I have therefore drawn up a proposal which is currently being discussed within the government. We are moving towards a fixed fee that no longer allows us to charge all kinds of dubious additional costs. This proposal should be voted on before the end of the legislature,” he said.
In its study, the Price Observatory of the FPS Economy pinpointed the obsolete pricing of judicial officers and their unsuitable practices. He also pointed to a lack of transparency regarding their costs and fees.
