The Supreme Court of South Korea seeks public comment on rules for civil enforcement of virtual assets.
PANews reported on July 6th that, according to Digital Asset, the South Korean Supreme Court issued a legislative notice on July 2nd regarding partial amendments to the Civil Enforcement Rules, establishing regulations for the enforcement of civil judgments related to virtual assets. Following a public consultation, the amendments will take effect on October 1st. The amendments cover the enforcement and realization of claims for the transfer of digital assets, as well as the enforcement and realization of the digital assets themselves. Once a court seizure order takes effect, third-party debtors are prohibited from transferring assets to the debtor, and the debtor is also prohibited from disposing of related rights. The seizing creditor can apply to the court to require the third-party debtor to state whether they acknowledge the claim and its specific details. Seized assets can be realized through transfer or sale orders. Sales can be conducted through entrusting virtual asset businesses, transferring assets to an enforcement officer's account before sale, or exchanging them for easily liquidated digital assets before sale.
