Key legal question
Whether the tenant had to bear the costs of forcible eviction under Art. 518 CPC-VD.
Extracted holding
Yes. The party against whom forcible execution was carried out must bear the execution costs, including locksmith and moving expenses.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 518 CPC-VD allows the judge, once execution is completed, to fix costs against the party subjected to execution. The tenant was that party, the invoiced amounts matched the file, and his obstructive conduct justified additional costs.
