Part Two: Attachments · Chapter Four: Attachment of movable property in the hands of a Debtor

1. Subject to the provisions of Article [236] of this Code, the attachment shall be made by an electronic or paper minute, as the case may be, made out at the place where it is imposed. It shall, in addition to the particulars required to be set out in notices of attachment, contain the following: a. Mention of the Execution Writ; b. Mention of the domicile or place of work of the Judgment Creditor in the State, and if they do not have a domicile or place of work in the State they shall specify an elective domicile in the area of the jurisdiction of the Court in which the execution is to take place; c. The place of the attachment, the steps taken by the Execution Bailiff, and any obstacles or objections that they have encountered during the attachment, and the steps taken by them in that regard; d. A detailed list of the items attached stating their type, description, number, weight or measurement, and a statement of the approximate value thereof. 2. The Execution Bailiff and the Debtor, if present, shall sign the minutes of attachment. In the event that they refuse to sign, the Execution Bailiff shall state that fact in the minutes of attachment. The mere fact that the Debtor voluntarily signs shall not be deemed to be acceptance of the judgment on their part. 3. An attachment shall not require that the items attached be taken away from their location unless the Execution Judge so orders. 4. The items shall become attached items by virtue of their being mentioned in the minutes of attachment, even if no custodian is appointed over them. A photo of the attached objects by the Execution Bailiff is considered complementary to the minutes of attachment. 5. If the attachment takes place in the presence of the Debtor or at their domicile or place of work, a copy of the minutes of attachment shall be delivered to them or to a person taking delivery of it on their behalf. If, however, the attachment takes place in their absence and otherwise than at their domicile or place of work, the minutes of attachment shall be served upon them in the manner indicated in Article [10] of this Code within no more than the (7) seven days following the attachment.
