Troika's Portuguese Ministry of Justice Experiment; An Empirical Study on the Success Story of the Civil Enforcement Actions

Abstract

This article deals with the measures implemented by Portugal, resulting from the objectives set out in the MoU signed between this country and Troika, for the justice sector, in particular, at the level of civil enforcement actions. The objectives of this work consisted in conducting an empirical study on the quantitative advantages achieved by the implemented measures. Future work should extend the type of analysis presented, not only to other sectors of activity, but also to other countries intervened by Troika: Greece, Ireland, and the less known and less covered cases of Spain, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia and Romania.
