provisional seizure

Read a random definition: right of wharfing out

A quick definition of provisional seizure:

Provisional seizure is when someone's property is taken to pay for a debt or a court judgment. It can also mean when a person is arrested for not following a court order or to make sure they pay a debt. Sometimes, a creditor can take a person's wages to pay off a debt. Before taking someone's property, there is usually a hearing to make sure it's fair. Provisional seizure can also mean when a document is attached or connected to something else.

A more thorough explanation:

Provisional seizure is the act of seizing someone's property to secure a judgment or to be sold in satisfaction of a judgment. It can also refer to the arrest of a person who is in contempt of court or is held as security for the payment of a judgment.

For example, if someone owes money to a creditor and refuses to pay, the creditor can request a provisional seizure of the debtor's property. This means that the creditor can take possession of the debtor's property until the debt is paid off or a judgment is made in court.

Another example is when a person is held in provisional seizure as security for the payment of a judgment. This means that the person is arrested and held in custody until they pay the judgment or are released by the court.

Overall, provisional seizure is a legal process used to ensure that a creditor is able to recover their debt or judgment by seizing the debtor's property or holding them in custody.
