5. Please, give us an idea about the characteristics of the registration of this restriction in your system

  • One of the measures for securing an action is a seizure of the defendant’s property which is in the possession of the defendant or another person and, on the basis thereof, making of such notation concerning prohibition in the land register, by which the prohibition on disposal is made visible, or making of such other entry in another property register, by which the prohibition on disposal is made visible.
  • Upon seizure of an immovable or a registered movable or another object, a notation concerning a prohibition on disposal of property is entered in the land register or another register to the benefit of the plaintiff on the basis of the plaintiff’s petition and the order on securing the action.
  • However, instead of the property seizure, court may also apply another measure which is adequate considering the circumstances of the case (e.g. by entering a preliminary notation to secure a claim for the acquisition or deletion of a real right or an objection to secure a demand for the amendment or deletion of an incorrect entry in the land registry).
