The offsite work meeting was held in Telavi among the representatives of Notary Chamber of Georgia, Tbilisi Court of Appeals and the National Bureau of Enforcement. The parties discussed the legal consequences of the enforcement order issued by a Notary during the court proceedings. A notary was granted the authority to issue an enforcement order since 2009, but the notary issued it only upon the pledge or mortgage agreements until 2012. In 2012, the competence of the notary increased and he/she had the right to issue an enforcement order on the basis of any contract related to the financial obligations. If a contract is concluded in the Notary, the condition of issuing the enforcement order is included in the agreement upon the consent of both parties.

The Notary Chamber of Georgia is concerned about the offensive remarks to the Notary Corps made by the member of “National Movement” Mr. Nika Rurua. The Member of Parliament referred the notary system as “Notary Office” where the government’s willingness is met without appeal. Each notary act approved by a notary is based on National and International Laws and the free will of the people who apply to the Notary to sign the Act. The Notary Chamber of Georgia and Georgian Notaries call the politicians to refrain from the insulting statements.

The meeting about the legislative amendments regarding the Larization was held in the Notary Chamber of Georgia.
