The enforcement measures under the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) have organized the regime of a writ of execution in order to make it more important. The best criterion to show the value of this writ is its effectiveness in helping creditors to recover their due rights. While examining OHADA provisions and case law relating to debt recovery, restitution or delivery of personal property, the writ of execution has achieved a lot. It allows stronger preventive and execution measures that finally force the debtor to give back what is adjudged to be due to the creditor. However, some exceptions, resistance and difficulties may stop the course of execution and prevent an enforceable right to fully succeed. These measures should be removed from OHADA provisions. Even more the authority of the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA) which is above State tribunals should be more effective and solid measures should be implemented to make safe the recovery procedures.
