Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice upheld the provisional arrest order against the debtor's assets. The applicant argued for the measure, while the debtor contended that the burden of proving asset ownership rested with them. The court ruled that the applicant must prove the assets belong to the debtor, and the debtor only needs to cast doubt on those facts through counter-evidence.
