Seizing your international debtor's assets
In some European countries, there is also a measure known as a preliminary seizure. As soon as a debtor is aware that legal action is being taken, they can move their assets before a court judgement is announced. After all, assets can only be seized with a court verdict. A preliminary seizure allows goods to be seized immediately before a judge announces a verdict. In the meantime, legal proceedings must take place. The assets are then retained until the judge reaches a verdict, preventing your debtor from moving their assets.
