English translation of the principle

The attaching creditor’s obligation to serve the attachment record and the order authorizing it on the person whose property is attached within eight days from the date of its imposition—unless previously served upon him—and to bring an action to establish the right and validate the attachment, failing which the attachment is deemed never to have occurred. It concerns precautionary attachment and garnishment of the debtor’s property held by a third party where its subject is movable property. An attachment in execution imposed on real property. Its validity does not require this. Articles 225 et seq. and 263 et seq. of the Procedure Law.
