释义 | arrestmentar·restA0436600 (ə-rĕst′)arrestment(əˈrɛstmənt)arrestmentarrestmentin the Scots law of diligence or legal enforcement, the attachment of a debtor's moveable property- like goods - that is in the hands of a third party. The situation is thus: A sues B; C owes money to B; A can arrest the debt owed by C to B until his own action against B is concluded (called arrestment on the dependence) or, if the arrestment is after the action between A and B, until A actually gets an order to have C make the money over, which is done by FURTHCOMING. Arrestment prohibits the party in whose hands it is laid from parting with the property but does not affect the property. It does not operate IN REM. It can be used to keep the property available in case the debtor does not pay. There is a special diligence for attaching ships, called arrestment of a ship, that generally can only be done if the claim is a maritime claim.
