Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a debtor forfeits the right to claim exempt items at a later attachment by selling items previously left as exempt property.
Decisione estratta
No. The right to exemption must be assessed anew at the time of the later seizure or attachment; prior sale of exempt items does not by itself forfeit that right.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive circumstances are those existing at the moment of the later enforcement measure. Earlier circumstances cannot simply be carried over. Sale of previously exempt items is only relevant as an indication, and would matter only if shown to be a fraudulent disposal intended to prejudice creditors.
