Article 219 of Code of Civil Procedure

English translation

If the value of the right for which attachment has been imposed is disproportionate to the value of the attached assets, the debtor may request the judge of urgent matters to order that attachment be restricted to some of those assets. This shall be by an action brought in accordance with the ordinary procedures, in which the attaching creditors and anyone deemed by law a party to the proceedings shall be joined. The creditors against whom restriction of the attachment has been ordered shall have priority over other creditors in satisfying their rights from the assets to which the attachment is restricted.
Arabic original
إذا كانت قيمة الحق المحجوز من اجله لا تتناسب مع قيمة الاموال المحجوز عليها جاز للمدين ان يطلب من قاضي الامور المستعجلة الحكم بقصر الحجز على بعض هذه الاموال، ويكون ذلك بدعوى ترفع وفقا للإجراءات المعتادة ويختصم فيها الدائنون الحاجزون ومن اعتبر بحكم القانون طرفا في الاجراءات. ويكون للدائنين الذين تقرر قصر الحجز في مواجهتهم اولوية على غيرهم من الدائنين في استيفاء حقوقهم من الاموال التي يقصر الحجز عليها.
