Spanish term or phrase: Despacho de ejecución, despachar ejecución, ejecutante, ejecutado
En un auto dictado por un juez en un juzgado de primera instancia aparecía el término "despacho de ejecución" y la frase "se despacha a instancia de... ejecución frente a...". Al presentar la duda aquí, una de las propuestas, que fue muy bien acogida, sugería la traducción "the Judge orders the enforcement of...". El término "enforcement", según algunos expertos, era preferible a "execution". El problema es que después aparecían también los términos "ejecutante" como la persona que solicita el despacho de ejecución y "ejecutado" como la persona sobre la que recae el mismo. Según Alcaraz Varó-Hugues, y otro compañero, los equivalentes correctos serían "executor" y "executed", lo cual nos lleva de nuevo a plantearnos si "despacho de ejecución" debería ser "order of enforcement" o "order of execution". ¿Qué opináis?

Explanation:
I have previously worked with the vocab of Spanish civil procedure and believe these are possible equivalents

despacho de ejecución = enforcement; execution
despachar ejecución = to order enforcement/execution
auto despachando ejecución = enforcement order
ejecutante = execution creditor; party initiating enforcement proceedings
ejecutado = execution debtor; party against whom enforcement is sought

Despite what may appear in some sources, I personally have never seen "executor" and "executed" used in English-language sources in this context. "Executor" as a noun has very different meanings in legal English ("albacea", for example) and as far as I know "executed" is an verb/adjective, not a noun (an executed contract; a convict executed on death row). Nevertheless, if you do see "executor" and "executed" used in reliable English-language sources (court websites, for example) with the meaning of "ejecutante" and "ejecutado" in THIS context, I would appreciate your sharing them with me.

Hope you find this useful.

("writ of execution" is another term for "enforcement order" = auto despachando ejecución)

execution (1) the signing of a deed will or other written instrument so as to make it binding on the signer, (2) a method of enforcing judgment by which an instruction is directed to the sheriff or bailiff requiring him to satisfy the judgment out of the debtor's real or personal property, or both, so far as the same extends. The judgement creditor who obtains the issue of the writ may thereafter be called an execution creditor and the debtor an execution debtor.

Explanation:
I would be inclined to stick with "enforcement", as this is the term I have more often seen. With regard to ejecutado and ejecutante, would it be possible to expand? - "the party against whom the order is being enforced" "the party enforcing the order". This is of course much wordier, and if the sentence is already long (very likely!) it may not work, but I have sometimes found it is the only way.

Suerte!
