Division 14.4
United Kingdom
You can apply to the competent court or, where national law so provides, to the competent enforcement authority in the Member State where your bank account has been preserved to have the enforcement of the Preservation Order limited or terminated if you consider that any of the following circumstances applies (Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014):
-
the enforcement of the Preservation Order should be limited because certain amounts held in your account that was preserved should be exempt from seizure in accordance with Article 31(3) of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014, or that amounts exempt from seizure have not or not correctly been taken into account in the implementation of the Preservation Order in accordance with Article 31(2) of that Regulation;
-
the enforcement of the Preservation Order is to be terminated because the preserved account is excluded from the scope of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014;
-
the enforcement of the Preservation Order is to be terminated because the enforcement of the judgment or court settlement or authentic instrument that the creditor was seeking to secure by means of the Preservation Order has been refused in the Member State of enforcement;
-
the enforcement of the Preservation Order is to be terminated because the enforceability of the judgment the enforcement of which the creditor was seeking to secure by means of the order, has been suspended in the Member State where the judgment had been issued;
-
the enforcement of the Preservation Order is to be terminated because it is manifestly contrary to the public policy of the Member State of enforcement (please note that you can apply for this remedy only to the court).
