The act of seizure renders the goods that are the subject of the seizure unavailable.
If the seizure relates to tangible assets, the seized debtor or the third party holder in whose hands the seizure has been made is deemed to be the custodian of the seized objects, subject to the penalties provided for inarticle 314-6 of the French Penal Code.
If the seizure relates to a debt, it interrupts the limitation period.
