Enforcement and attachment
Article 72 and the negative-declaration action
Article 72 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law governs the debtor suing, before or during an enforcement pursuit, for a negative declaration to prove they are not indebted. Restitution is the taking back of money already paid, and it is not this action. The security rate in the official text is not brought here.
An action opened before the pursuit starts and an action opened while the pursuit continues are not squeezed into the same sentence about a measure. A measure is not a stop given by itself in every file. The result is in the court’s decision.
That one is not a debtor is not an announcement of this page. A claim on a note, an invoice or a surety is read from the paper. A percent and a sum are not written.
