A B2B payment order in France can be an efficient route for a documented commercial claim. But it is not suitable for every unpaid invoice. The creditor must verify evidence, jurisdiction, debtor identity, amount, maturity and opposition risk before choosing this procedure.

Assess a B2B payment order file
Legatum & Partners assists companies in determining whether a payment order is the appropriate route, or whether a reinforced pre-litigation or full trial strategy should be considered.
A payment order may be efficient where the claim is well documented and apparently not seriously disputed. Where the debtor has already raised objections, where the scope of work is contested or where the evidence requires debate, a full trial route may be more coherent.
Not always. It may be efficient where the claim is documented and not seriously disputed. If opposition is likely, a full trial route may be more coherent.
What documents are usually required?
Useful documents usually include contracts, orders, invoices, delivery or performance proof, correspondence, reminders, formal notice and a clear statement of account.
What happens if the debtor files an opposition?
The matter becomes adversarial. The creditor must then be ready to support the claim with evidence, chronology and legal arguments.
