Philippe Théry, The After-Trial, Sociological Aspects
Even if the word After-Trial may receive several meanings, this article restrains itself to the difficulties linked to the forced execution of decisions. When concentrating, in the first place, on the phenomenon of non-enforcement that forms the background of the subject, one sees that this non-enforcement is very revealing of the flaws in the rules to be applied. Besides, evolution has turned non-enforcement into a market, with its operators and its techniques.@When afterwards one turns towards enforcement strictly speaking, it offers matter to sociological observation, considering the actors (debtor and creditor), the distrainable matter or the methods of enforcement. Finally, it is possible that the very conditions of enforcement could, by a backlash effect, modify the litigation.

Key Words : sociology, trial
