If the third party asserts a right of retention on the seized property, he must inform the bailiff of this by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, unless he made the declaration at the time of the seizure.
Within one month, the seizing creditor may contest the right of retention before the enforcement judge of the place where the third party lives. The property remains unavailable during the proceedings.
If no challenge is made within the one-month period, the third party’s claim is deemed to be well-founded for the purposes of the seizure.
