Sums in cash may be attached up to the amount of the claim of the distrainor. They shall be kept
in the custody of the bailiff or process server or at a registry of the distrainor’s choice.
Mention shall be made thereof in the report of attachment, which shall also indicate, under pain
of nullity, that the debtor has a period of fifteen (15) days, from notification of the said report,
to contest it before the court of the place of the attachment which shall be named in the report.
Where the attachment is contested and no order made for payment to the creditor or restitution
to the debtor, the competent court may order that the amount claimed be deposited in the registry.
Where the attachment is not contested within the prescribed period, the sums shall immediately
be paid to the creditor and deducted from the total amount claimed.
