Short answer
A simplified procedure at the bailiff's court for undisputed money claims of up to DKK 100,000 excluding interest and costs. Filed via minretssag.dk.
Explanation
The rules are in chapter 44 a of the Administration of Justice Act (retsplejeloven). The court fee is DKK 750. Once the payment order has been served, the debtor has 14 days to object. If the debtor does not object, the order can be endorsed, and it then has the same effect as a judgment: the creditor can ask the bailiff's court for attachment (udlæg). If the debtor objects, the case usually continues as an ordinary court case.
