lawyer ship seizure and garnishment procedure in California, USA
A French company buys a boat abroad and has it transported to its home port by a foreign company.
Upon pickup, the owner of the vessel is contacted by a representative of the transport company who takes care of recording the vessel's dimensions.
This representative makes a mistake and regardless, the vessel is correctly delivered to its French port. However, during transportation, the foreign company demands additional payment from the owner due to an alleged extra cost because of the actual weight and size of the vessel.
The owner refuses to pay, and the boat is temporarily seized at its home port.
