The costs of execution by distraint shall be borne by the debtor, save where it is obvious that
they were not necessary at the time they were incurred.
Save where they concern an act whose performance is provided for by the national law of each
State Party or by this Uniform Act, or is authorized by the competent court, costs incurred for
recovery without an executory formula shall be borne by the creditor. However, the competent
court may, on his application order the transfer of all or part of the costs incurred to the debtor
who has acted in bad faith.
