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

A real estate can be an object of an attachment in two situations: 1) the attachment of a real estate as a precautionary measure because of coming legal proceedings or because of pending legal proceedings in order to secure the payment of a claim of the plaintiff or 2) the confiscation for security of a real estate in order to secure the payment of a fine or compensation on the basis of an offence or in order to secure the payment of an amount of money declared forfeited to the State.

The general court decides on the attachment as a precautionary measure or on the confiscation for security. Both the attachment as a precautionary measure and the confiscation for security are executed by enforcement authorities. The attachment as a precautionary measure and the confiscation for security are entered in the LR by using the main concept «Restriction of Possession».
