If the claimant proves circumstances likely to jeopardise the recovery of damages, the court may order the precautionary seizure of the movable and immovable property of the alleged infringer, including the freezing of his bank accounts and other assets, in accordance with ordinary law. In order to determine the assets that may be subject to seizure, it may order the disclosure of banking, financial, accounting or commercial documents or access to relevant information.

Pour déterminer les biens susceptibles de faire l’objet de la saisie, elle peut ordonner la communication des documents bancaires, financiers, comptables ou commerciaux ou l’accès aux informations pertinentes.
