Article 24 Priority of applications
When the Office accepts an application under Article 22 or Article 23(1), it shall assign to that application a serial number.
Where a creditor who has made an application under Article 23(1) makes, in accordance with Article 23(2), an application under Article 22 for the enforcement of the same judgment, the last-mentioned application shall be assigned the same serial number as the application under Article 23(1).
Where applications are made in respect of more than one money judgment against the same debtor, the enforcement of such judgments shall, subject to paragraph (4), be effected so that a pending application bearing an earlier serial number is dealt with in priority to any such application bearing a later serial number.
Nothing in paragraph (3) shall—
prejudice Articles 80 to 87 (administration orders); or
prevent an enforcement order being made on a pending application bearing a later serial number, if by virtue of Article 138(1)( a) the priority of a pending application bearing an earlier serial number is postponed to that of the pending application bearing the later serial number.
