(DEBA)¹

¹ In the first in­stance, mov­able as­sets, in­clud­ing claims and claims sub­ject to lim­ited dis­train­ab­il­ity (Art. 93), shall be at­tached. The first items to be dis­trained are every­day items; However, more dis­pens­able as­sets shall be dis­trained be­fore those less dis­pens­able.²¹⁴

² Im­mov­able as­sets shall only be dis­trained if the mov­able as­sets are in­suf­fi­cient to cov­er the debt.²¹⁵

³ In the last in­stance, as­sets which have been at­tached or which are des­ig­nated by the debt­or as be­long­ing to third parties or are claimed by third parties shall be dis­trained.

⁴ If fod­der stocks are dis­trained, a cor­res­pond­ing num­ber of live­stock must also be dis­trained at the debt­or’s re­quest.

^4bis The of­ficer may derog­ate from this or­der if the cir­cum­stances jus­ti­fy it or if the cred­it­or and debt­or jointly re­quest so.²¹⁶

⁵ Moreover, the of­ficer shall, as far as prac­tic­able, take in­to ac­count the in­terests of both the cred­it­or and the debt­or.
