Hello,
What applicable EU law are you referring to ?
In my country, a claim against a company does not exempt you for paying fees to involved providers for processing/accessing your claim.
Note that RIPE have a 24month retention period where you cannot transfer the IP addresses again.

Dear,
we are the sponsoring LIR of a company that has a claim against a RIPE
member in Germany. This claim was confirmed by court judgment through an
enforcement order. As part of the compulsory enforcement, there is a
garnishment and transfer order instructing RIPE to transfer the members IP
addresses.
However, RIPE refuses to comply and comes up with all sorts of ideas, e.g.
that the creditor should first become a RIPE member, or that the whole
matter must first be served to RIPE by a Dutch court, etc. Obviously, RIPE
does not seem to care much about applicable EU law and legal proceedings.
The lawyer now recommends suing RIPE, since they are not complying with the
garnishment order, thereby making themselves liable for damages, and should
then directly pay the claim against the RIPE member instead of releasing the
IP addresses.
That would, of course, be even easier, since nobody would have to deal with
the sale of the IPs, etc.
Has anyone here ever had any experience with this?
Or perhaps an idea how to get RIPE to act in compliance with the law?
