新修強制執行法就強制扣薪規定之評釋

Comments on the Provisions for Garnering Wages in the Amended Compulsory Enforcement Act

新修正強制執行法，雖係維護債務人基本生活及人性尊嚴，並兼顧債權人債權之實現，且課予執行法院權衡義務，適時調整扣薪額度，立意甚佳，但新制實行，可能產生債權平等原則破壞之疑慮，在新舊案處理上採消極作法亦於法未洽，且影響當事人權益。再者，非所有執行名義之內容，均得以明確審查債權發生之原因或情節，執行法院在判斷上恐將遭遇難題。另現行執行法院扣押與換價命令同時核發之傳統作法，與新制採權衡扣押有所不符，應一併檢討。 While the Compulsory Enforcement Act protects the livelihood and dignity of debtors, it is also intended to take due account of the rights of creditors, and thus grants the execution court considerable freedom to consider all aspects of each case and to determine the amount of wages to be garnered. However, some are concerned that the actual implementation of this recently passed act may result in an equality of claims. Moreover, adopting a passive approach for dealing with both old and new cases would be legally unsuitable and could infringe upon the rights of the concerned parties. Furthermore, entitlement foreclosure doesn't always clearly determine the causes of the debt and the debtor's situation, and this is likely to lead to difficulties for the execution court. Also, the traditional approach is to simultaneously implement attachments and assignment orders, but this conflicts with the new act's emphasis on attachments which balance the rights of both parties; in fact, the two need to be considered together.
