Participants said that the positive results included establishing 53 bailiff offices in 13 localities nation-wide. HCM City has 11 offices.
They agreed that all offices had gradually secured a foothold in society as well as in legal aid activities.
At present there are 643 people working in the 53 offices nationwide, of which 134 are enforcement agents; 295 professional secretaries and 214 staff.
By July 31, bailiff offices had sent out more than 819,000 notices of enforcement and verified 781 cases for enforcement of court decisions while directly executing 322 cases involving more than 119 billion VND (5.45 million USD).
