Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Imke Lodewijk, and I am involved in the preparations for the
symposium of the Royal Professional Organisation of Judicial Officers of
the Netherlands (KBvG), which will take place in 2026 in the Netherlands.
In this context, I am conducting an inventory of the various possibilities
for attachment and enforcement measures in different countries. We are
particularly interested in the procedures and methods applied within your
legal system for imposing attachments, for example regarding movable and
immovable property, bank accounts, or third-party garnishments. We would
also like to learn more about the information possibilities in your
country – for instance, are judicial officers allowed to directly access
the balance of a debtor’s bank account?
To illustrate the Dutch practice:
* In the Netherlands, judicial officers can impose attachments on
bank accounts held at certain institutions through a digital system. This
is executed via an automated network, not by email or manual requests.
* To my knowledge, in Belgium it is still possible at some banks to
serve an attachment order by email.
* Furthermore, Article 57 of the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure (Rv)
in the Netherlands provides that a judicial officer, when serving a writ,
acts both on behalf of the claimant (creditor) and towards the defendant
(debtor). The judicial officer is also required to send a copy of the writ
to the Public Prosecution Service (OM). This ensures governmental
oversight and safeguards the independence of the process. The Public
Prosecution Service will then make efforts to notify the defendant of the
served documents.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could inform us about the
possibilities for attachment and enforcement measures in your legal
system, and whether there are specific features or recent developments
that might be relevant to discuss at our symposium. Any documents,
references to legislation, or practical experiences would, of course, also
be most welcome.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Your input will make a valuable
contribution to an international overview of enforcement practices, which
will be presented during the symposium.
Kind regards,
Imke Lodewijk
