FAQ
Frequently asked questions: commercial law and debt recovery
How do I recover an unpaid debt in Morocco?
After a formal notice sent by registered letter or through a bailiff, a creditor holding a written document (accepted invoice, contract, cheque, acknowledgement of debt) can apply to the judge for a payment order (art. 155 et seq. of the Code of Civil Procedure), a fast and inexpensive procedure. Without a written document, proceedings on the merits must be brought.
What is the limitation period for commercial debts?
Obligations arising between traders, or between traders and non-traders in the course of their trade, are time-barred after five years (art. 5 of the Commercial Code), unless shorter special provisions apply.
