If a debt is threatened, creditors have two options: precautionary seizure or legal security. The former freezes the debtor's assets and makes them unavailable. The second, less restrictive but just as effective, allows a preferential right to be registered over certain assets without immobilising them. This protection...Conservatory measures and insolvency proceedings: anticipating to protect your rights
