5. Please, give us an idea about the characteristics of the registration of this restriction in your system

Only claims listed in articles 2652, 2653 and 2646, after being notified to the defendant, can be registered. The main effect of the registration is to anticipate the effects of the judgment at the time of the registration. Is to say that the plaintiff can avail the favorable judgment against third parties whose registration was made after the registration of the claim.
