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

• This judicial restriction does not prevent doing disposal acts and registering them; but these acts become subordinated to the result of the judicial procedure.
• This judicial measure does not block registering other notices about judicial disputes claiming a different amount of money.
• If there are several notices about judicial measures registered, the first one entering the register is going to have priority.
• Once the priority notice is executed, the other ones are going to be cancelled.
• The process can lead to forced sale or public auction, in order to satisfy the creditor.
• If in the legal proceeding there is remaining money, the nonpriority notices are going to be cancelled, but that remaining money will be used to pay those claims by order.
