arrestment

Read a random definition: Sequestration

A quick definition of arrestment:

Arrestment is when someone takes away a person's things or stops them from leaving a place. In some places, it can also mean taking someone's things that are being held by someone else, like a bank, to make sure they pay their debts. Sometimes, it's done to make sure a court has the power to make a decision about a case. It can also mean stopping something from happening.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Arrestment is the act of taking or attaching someone's property to obtain security or to establish jurisdiction. It can also refer to the arrest of a person or personal effects.

  • Postjudgment arrestment: This is when property is seized after a judgment has been made against the debtor to ensure that the creditor can collect the debt.
  • Arrestment on the dependence: This is when property is seized before a judgment has been made to secure payment of a debt from a debtor who is likely to leave the country to avoid paying.
  • Arrestment to found jurisdiction: This is when property is seized to establish legal authority over a debtor who is a foreigner and does not own land in a particular place.

These examples illustrate how arrestment is used in Scots law to help creditors collect debts from debtors who may try to avoid paying. It is a legal process that allows property to be seized to ensure that debts are paid.
