Subject
A request for a precautionary attachment of funds before the urgent‑matters judge, where the applicant relied on apparent documents such as a bank statement and a formal notice to demonstrate the existence of the debt.
Summary
Under Article (141) of the Code of Civil Procedure, the urgent‑matters judge's task when ordering a precautionary attachment is limited to verifying whether the submitted evidence, on its face, indicates a debt that is known, due and not subject to a condition. A substantive examination of contract terms falls within the trial judge's jurisdiction. The appellate court's substantive inquiry into the contract terms was therefore contrary to law and rendered the decision subject to cassation.
Practical significance
Practical implication: the urgent‑matters judge should confine review to the apparent quality of the submitted documents (e.g., bank statement, formal notice) to ascertain a known and due debt and should leave contractual disputes to the trial judge. An appellate court's substantive assessment of contractual terms may expose its decision to reversal on cassation. This content is an educational summary and not a judicial text or legal advice.
