poinding

Personal poinding is founded merely on an obligation to pay, all else aside.

In addition, poinding of assets can take place and a warrant sale can be carried out to realise those effects at a later date.

Every debitum fundi (a debt using land as collateral) is a foundation for real poinding.

During the two-day trial, at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, it was claimed the poinding did not proceed because there was insufficient property in the house.
