Common confusion points
Confusing 'Judgment' with 'Decree': While often used interchangeably, ensure you know which specific term the court used in its final words.
Not knowing whether to tick 'With Damages' or 'Without Damages' when a small nominal sum was awarded (e.g., €1).
Filing this form before the trial is over; it must follow the conclusion of the hearing.
Assuming filing it automatically starts enforcement; you may need a separate application to enforce the judgment.
