So close, yet so far: The effect of liquidation on judicially attached property

So, you have your court order, writ of execution and have judicially attached the movable assets of your debtor, and you are only one step away from finally recovering what you are owed; what could possibly go wrong? We have all been warned never to ask that question, because, like in the movies, that is when it all seems to start going wrong. It often happens that default judgment is obtained; a writ of execution is issued and the sheriff judicially attaches the debtor’s movable assets and draws up the inventory. However, before the sheriff can remove the assets for a sale in execution, another creditor brings a liquidation application against the same debtor and a provisional liquidation order is granted.
