Attachment of share in movables

Full Text

Where the property to be attached consists of the share or interest of the judgment-debtor in movable property belonging to him and another as co-owners, the attachment shall be made by a notice to the judgment-debtor prohibiting him from transferring the share or interest or charging it in any way.

Plain English Summary

Regulates attachment of the debtor's undivided share in co-owned movable property through a prohibitory notice restraining transfer or hypothecation without disturbing physical possession of innocent co-owners.

Key Legal Elements

  • Co-owned Movable Property: Applicable to joint undivided chattels, vehicles, or livestock.
  • Prohibitory Notice Mechanism: Restrains debtor from alienating or creating encumbrances.
  • Protection of Co-owners: Prevents seizure of the physical article to protect co-owners' rights.

Practical Note

Co-owned Movables Strategy: Physical seizure under Rule 43 is impermissible where the property is held in co-ownership with a non-party. The only permissible mode is serving a prohibitory notice under Rule 47, followed by a court sale of the debtor's undivided share.
