Bodembeslag

Bodembeslag is a form of executory attachment under which a bailiff seizes movable property located on the premises or within the building of the debtor. The attachment is levied to enforce a judgment or other enforceable title for the recovery of a monetary claim.

Its significance lies in enabling the creditor to attach assets present on the premises without prior specific identification, thereby preventing the debtor from readily removing the goods from the scope of the attachment.

In practice, bodembeslag is routinely employed in debt collection proceedings against both companies and individuals, with the bailiff seizing inventory or other movable property on site.
