Question juridique clé
Whether the seizure of the arrested claim was validly completed before or only upon service of the seizure record on the absent debtor.
Solution extraite
For an absent and unrepresented debtor, the seizure is completed only when the seizure record is served; here that occurred on 2004-03-11, after the arrest.
Motifs extraits
Article 96(1) SchKG makes the warning against disposition a constitutive element of the seizure. The 1994 revision did not change this. An arrest is only a precautionary measure and does not replace the later seizure notice.
