Sale of Debtor’s Property at First · Preserved transcription; page attribution imported from the source collection. Verify against the original.
Where for one and the same obligation two or more items of property have been pledged, one of which is encumbered with another pledge which the creditor does not have to respect in the execution, the other pledgee has mutatis mutandis the same right as the one referred to in sub-Article (1).
If the creditor refuses to comply with a demand based upon sub-Article (1) and (2), the Court may rule upon this refusal, at the request of any interested party. The request suspends execution.
