Abstract: One of the most frequently used procedural-executional means - the garnishment, continues to generate quite a lot of "thrills" in practical terms, especially when it comes to the question of how it can be used when the creditor aims to enforce securities and other intangible assets.

What is certain is that, at least from a procedural perspective, we have tried to take a pragmatic approach in line with the topic and the day-to-day realities of enforcement against shares, stocks, crypto-assets and other intangible assets.

In any case, our efforts have materialized in the sense of explaining this legal ménage à trois: creditor – debtor – third-party garnishee, in the case of garnishment of other assets than money, without missing two components from the explanations: the legal basis and the creative but pragmatic interpretation.

Keywords: garnishment; seizure; securities; intangible assets; crypto-assets.
