Cameroon, often referred to as 'Africa in miniature,' mirrors the continent’s diversity and potential. Its geostrategic location and improving trade infrastructure make Cameroon a rising destination for credit operations, investment, and business expansion. Cameroon adheres to OHADA law, which outlines the steps for judicial recovery.
In Cameroon, amicable recovery is not just a formality—it’s often essential. Cultural and legal customs encourage dialogue before court intervention. This process typically includes: Written reminders via email or registered mail; Telephone follow-ups, often in French or English, depending on region; In-person negotiations, particularly effective in commercial contexts; Legal notices sent via bailiffs (huissiers de justice) to increase pressure. The OHADA Uniform Act on Simplified Recovery Procedures and Enforcement governs procedures across the CEMAC zone, streamlining debt actions and promoting harmonization.
