Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and theFrench National Chamber of Judicial Officers held a discussion on May 3 to lookinto bailiff services in Vietnam and France’s experience in this field.

Do Hoang Yen, Director of the MoJ’s Departmentof Judicial Support, said 13 provinces and centrally-run cities in Vietnam arepiloting bailiff services while 12 other localities have registered forproviding these services.

Bailiff services have helped improve the qualityof judging and enforcing civil verdicts, she said, adding that they are apositive legal tool for people to protect their own rights and interests whenengaging in civil, economic and commercial transactions.

She acknowledged shortcomings in existingbailiff activities, pointing to bailiffs’ limited capacity and experience whichis partly attributable to a shortage of professional training and a code ofethics of bailiffs.

To increase the state management of and create amore favourable legal corridor for bailiff services, the MoJ plans to build acircular guiding the implementation of some articles in the Government’s Decreeon the organisation and activities of bailiffs, and another circular on ethicsof bailiffs.

Accordingly, the draft guidance circular willsimplify as many relevant procedures and papers as possible. The Academy ofJustice will be in charge of giving training in bailiff activities. Meanwhile,the draft circular on bailiffs’ ethics aim to raise awareness, morality andprestige of the bailiff profession.

At the discussion, French experts said in theircountry, the minister of justice is responsible for appointing bailiffs anddeciding the establishment of a bailiff’s office. Bailiffs in France mustadhere to their profession’s ethics in both work and life since they havecertain power given by the State.

The discussion was an occasion for the MoJ tolearn from France’s experience in developing bailiff services so as tofine-tune related regulations in Vietnam in the time ahead.-VNA
