Preservation lawsuit - Hozensosho

Japanese: 保全訴訟 - ほぜんそしょう

A general term for provisional attachment and provisional disposition stipulated in the Civil Preservation Act (Article 1 and following). It is also called a preservation disposition. In the narrow sense, it refers only to the court procedures of provisional attachment and provisional disposition, excluding the execution procedures. Provisional attachment is a system in which a creditor who has a monetary claim (a claim that can be demanded to pay money) temporarily seizes the debtor's assets equivalent to the amount of the claim, in order to preserve the future enforcement of the claim so that it does not become impossible or difficult. There are two different types of provisional dispositions: "provisional dispositions regarding disputed matters" and "provisional dispositions that determine a provisional status."
