The additional default interest in the enforcement of contentiousadministrative judgments

Abstract

The default interest begins to run in case of a judgment imposing the obligation of a payment to the public administration. Some of these interests are compensatory aimed at updating the value of the debt by applying the legal interest rate. These interests begin to run ope legis since the notification of the judgment. Other interests are coercive aimed at forcing the complying with the judgment. The latter imply a plus of two points of the legal interest rate and begin to run when is requested the compulsory enforcement by an interested party and after the voluntary execution of the judgment has elapsed.
