As a lawyer competent in case of a dispute between a boat owner and port authorities in Saint Tropez in the Var, a port authority approaches me because a ship has been escaping for years from the hands of one of my ASP port clients with regard to which a large debt exists.
My predecessors have never managed to catch this ship and make the debtor pay.
After having seized it, but not hindered, it escapes again in the night; however, my firm, competent in maritime law and working during the weekend, manages to locate it and my bailiff and the gendarmerie seize it again with sealings and restraints forcing it to stay at the dock.
The ship will be sold a few months later after obtaining a final enforceable title and the creditor fully reimbursed for all costs.
