Practice question
A defendant owns assets in several regions. The court authorizes simultaneous writs securing a single supported demand. The applicant says each writ creates a new independent entitlement to secure the full amount cumulatively without regard to total attachment. Which is sound?
- Every additional writ automatically multiplies the debt.
- Multiple regional process does not enlarge the single lawful security amount into unlimited cumulative seizure.
- The supported demand is irrelevant once several sheriffs act.
- Each region independently creates a new substantive cause.
- Several writs conclusively permit every asset to be taken.
