Hi Thomas, There is precedent in national courts treating IP addresses as attachable assets (e.g. *Amtsgericht Hamburg, case 67a M 93/19*, and *OLG Wien, case 3 R 195/14y*). The difficulty is that RIPE NCC, under Dutch law, considers them contractual “rights of use” and will only act on a *Dutch court order*. In practice, creditors either secure a voluntary transfer from the debtor or go through proceedings in the Netherlands. Without that, RIPE will not execute a garnishment.
