    According to Article (32), an owner who defaults on their Service Charges must bear the financial consequences of the legal process. This includes paying all court fees and costs incurred during the enforcement. Additionally, the defaulting owner may be ordered by the execution judge to pay the advocates� fees of the management entity. This provision incentivizes owners to settle their debts promptly and ensures the community's budget is not depleted by legal expenses.
