Preface: Dimitrios Kranis, Honorary Vice Chairman of the Supreme Court

The book examines the issues arising from the exercise of the power granted to the creditor (as per art. 724 of the Code of Civil Procedure) to impose on the debtor’s property a preventive arrest and/or a mortgage prenotation without an interim measures’ judgement but directly “by operation of law”, i.e. by virtue of a legal title (payment order or final judgement). It also monitors the contigency of litigation between creditor and debtor, if the latter requests the judicial protection provided for by the law against said power of the former.
