The judgments must be complied with within the fifteen days following the day on which the notification takes effect. Once the term has expired, the party that obtained a favorable judgment may request its execution in terms of the provisions of article 950 of this Law.

If the judge notices that there is a risk of not executing the judgment, or if the employer carries out acts tending to the non-compliance thereof, the judge shall take the necessary measures in order to achieve the effective compliance of the judgment. For this purpose he may decree the attachment of bank accounts and/or real property, and must issue the respective official letters to the competent institutions. Likewise, he must give notice to the social security institutions so that the resolutions are complied with as regards the payment of the quotas and contributions contained in the judgment.

The action to request the execution of the final judgments of the Court prescribes in two years in terms of article 519 of this Law. The prescription shall run as of the day following the day on which the judgment of the Court was notified to the parties and is only interrupted in the following cases:

a)By the filing of the duly completed request for execution, through which the party that obtained a favorable judgment requests the judge to issue the corresponding order of demand for payment and attachment, or to open the Incident of Liquidation, and

b)When any of the parties files the corresponding means of challenge.

Regardless of the foregoing, the parties may agree on the modalities of its compliance.
