counter-action directly linked to the main action

When granting permission for the attachment, the court must always specify the time limit within which the statement of claim in the principal action must be lodged.

If no principal action is yet pending, the court specifies a time limit in the permission for attachment, of at least eight days following the attachment, within which the principal action must be brought.

That court granted that application on 25 July 2013 but the authorisation granted was subject to the condition that an action initiating the main proceedings should be brought within 30 days following the attachment.
