Practical advice for your investigation in De Panne

Document your suspicions in advance

Before contacting us, write down dates, times and specific observations. This preparation helps us plan the investigation more efficiently and keep costs manageable.

Know which court is competent

In De Panne, the court of first instance of West Flanders, Veurne division is competent for most civil and family matters. For custody disputes, the family court in Bruges (West Flanders division) handles cases from the coastal region.

A private detective report is legally admissible

Reports compiled by a licensed private detective are admissible as evidence in Belgian courts, provided the investigation was conducted in a legally correct manner. This is always our starting point.

Discretion starts with you

The fewer people who know about an ongoing investigation, the more effective it will be. We therefore recommend not sharing information about the investigation with third parties.

When an investigation leads beyond De Panne — towards Veurne, Nieuwpoort or across the French border — we continue seamlessly. Our operational zone covers the entire Belgian territory and neighbouring countries.

Privacy legislation and your rights
