Abstract
One of the most important stages of civil enforcement is the auction of seized property, which, due to its importance and widespread use, a chapter of the Civil Enforcement Law of 1977 has been dedicated to the sale and auction of property. According to the Seventh Law of Progress, auctions for the execution of judgments must be held electronically. Holding an auction electronically is a law and the parties cannot agree otherwise. Also, the application of the provisions stated in the law in electronic auctions is different from in-person auctions, and some of the auction procedures and procedures, such as the location and time of the auction, supervision by the prosecutor's representative, holding the auction by the enforcement officer, and other procedures, will be implemented differently in electronic auctions. In addition to important advantages such as reducing auction cancellations, appropriate information, and transparency of information, electronic auctions have drawbacks and challenges such as the lack of recognition of unauthorized persons by volunteers, lack of appropriate training, and the need for electronic auction instructions. Correcting these challenges will help to hold electronic auctions as well as possible.
