bailiff or process-server thereof by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt or through
any means with written proof, except where he had made a declaration at the time of the

Within a period of one month, the distrainor may oppose such possessory lien before the
competent court of the residence or of the place of abode of the third party. The property shall
remain inalienable during the proceedings.
