Article 447

Where the property to be attached is a debt not secured by a negotiable instrument or a debt owing to the judgment-debtor under another decree, the attachment shall be made by a written order prohibiting the creditor from recovering the debt and the debtor from making payment thereof until the further order of the court.

Where the property to be attached is a share in the capital of a corporation, the attachment shall be made by a written order prohibiting the person in whose name the share may be from transferring the same or receiving any dividend thereon and the corporation from registering any transfer of such share.

Where any other movable property or a sum of money is to be attached, the attachment shall be made by a written order prohibiting the person in possession of the same from giving it over to the judgment-debtor.

A copy of the order made under sub-Articles (1)-(3) shall be affixed on some conspicuous part of the court-house, and another copy shall be sent in the case of the debt, to the debtor, in the case of the share, to the proper officer of the corporation, and, in the case of any other movable property, to the person in possession of the same.

A debtor prohibited under sub-Article (1) may pay the amount of his debt into court, and such payment shall discharge him as effectually as payment to the party entitled to receive the same.

Any order under this Article shall be accompanied by a notice informing the person in possession of the property that he may appear before the court on a day to be fixed in the notice to show cause why he should not comply with the order.
