Expected to be submitted to the National Assembly in October 2025
Drafted by the Ministry of Justice | 9 Chapters | 231 Articles | 50 New Provisions

 The draft amendment to Vietnam’s Law on Civil Judgment Enforcement marks a sweeping modernization aimed at strengthening procedural safeguards, clarifying rights for involved parties, and supporting digital transformation in enforcement.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Expanded Legal Definitions
  Clear recognition of third-party secured property holders and related stakeholders, granting them rights to negotiate, redeem, and challenge enforcement actions.
•  Authorization & Obligation Transfer
  Both creditors and debtors may now delegate enforcement rights and obligations — aligning with real-world business needs and restructuring scenarios.
• Enhanced Protection of Secured Assets
  For the first time, the law sets out mechanisms to protect third-party property from unjust enforcement and gives them legal standing in valuation and redemption.
•  Legal Digitalization
  Electronic notifications, digital enforcement records, and centralized databases will be implemented to reduce costs, time, and bureaucracy.
•  Accountability & Oversight
  Enforcement officers, prosecutors, and courts will operate under stricter anti-corruption and power control mechanisms, reinforcing public trust.
• Cross-Border Enforcement Readiness
  Aligns with international conventions (New York Convention, UNCAC), ensuring smoother execution of foreign arbitral awards and cross-border judgments.

– This reform lays the groundwork for a more predictable, transparent, and enforceable legal environment — especially critical for:
