Regulatory part

Articles R. 211-1 to R. 211-13 apply to the seizure of successively enforceable claims, subject to the following provisions.

If there is no dispute, the sums due after the seizure are paid on presentation of the certificate provided for in article R. 211-6. The garnishee is discharged, as and when due, in the hands of the seizing creditor or his agent, who gives receipt and informs the debtor.

In the event of a dispute, the garnishee pays the outstanding debt to a receiver appointed, in the absence of an amicable agreement, by the enforcement judge hearing the case. If the sums sequestered are sufficient to pay off the creditor, the execution judge orders the seizure to be released. The court registry informs the garnishee by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

The garnishee is informed by the creditor of the extinction of the garnishee’s debt by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The attachment also ceases to have effect when the garnishee ceases to be liable to the debtor. The garnishee informs the creditor of this by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
