Law (general)
This is in the middle of French document regarding a Swiss legal proceeding. The full context is this passage:
"Demgegen�ber geh�ren treuh�nderisch von einem Dritten f�r den Schuldner gehaltene Verm�genswerte nicht dem Schuldner, da der Drit�e nach schweizerischem Rechtsverst�ndnis Eigentumer wird und dem Schuldner nur ein obligatorischer Anspruch gegenuber dem Treuh�nder zusteht. Die Verm�genswerte des Treuh�nders k�nnen daher nicht direkt arrestiert werden. Statt dessen ist der obliga�orische Anspruch des Schuldners gegenuber dem Treuh�nder als Forderung arrestierbar"
I know some German, but this is really beyond me. Any help with this entire passage would be most appreciated! Thank you in advance!

cannot be attached
the trustee's assets cannot be attached directly. Instead the debtor's contractual claim against the trustee can be attached.

seizable
That's pretty awkward even for native speakers, mind, but then again: It is possible to 'arrest' not only people, but apparently also assets or claims on assets. Common German terms would be e.g., 'beschlagnahmen' oder 'sperren'

German term (edited):
(nicht#) arrestierbar
(judgment-proof#) attachable; distrainable; [execution-] leviable
There is really no problem conveying this in English.
Attachment and distraint as a method of enforcement or levying execution can all be used for intangible debts or receivable and tangible Vermögenswerte/assets.
Leviable is shorthand for levy of execution and does not mean dutiable or chargeable in this context.
Attachment and distraint as a method of enforcement or levying execution can all be used for intangible debts or receivable and tangible Vermögenswerte/assets.
Leviable is shorthand for levy of execution and does not mean dutiable or chargeable in this context.
Example sentence:
an execution is returned unsatisfied, wholly or in part, ... it was issued may issue an alias execution to the same circuit, or an execution leviable in

Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
David Wright
: only neutral cos I've already put in attach, but basically I think the two words are interchangeable,

What words? Also you didn't go the step of turning attach into the adjective of attachable and the latter negative into judgment-proof vs. unattachable. Also, you have not considered Mareva turning into freezes/freezing injunctions in E&W.
