68A. Effect of writs of execution against goods
(1) A writ of fieri facias or other writ of execution against goods issued from the Court binds the property in the goods of the execution debtor from the time when the writ to be executed is delivered to the bailiff.
(2) A writ of execution does not prejudice the title to any goods of the execution debtor acquired by a person in good faith and for valuable consideration unless the person had, at the time when he acquired his title, notice that the writ or any other writ under which the goods of the execution debtor might be seized or attached had been delivered to and remained unexecuted in the hands of the bailiff.
(3) The bailiff (without fee) on receipt of any writ of execution must endorse on its back the hour, day, month and year when he received it so that the time mentioned in subsection (1) can be determined.
(4) In this section and in section 68B—
(a) property (產權、財產) means the general property in goods, and not merely a special property;
(b) bailiff (執達主任) includes any officer charged with the enforcement of a writ of execution;
(c) any reference to the goods of the execution debtor is deemed a reference to property liable to attachment and sale in execution of a judgment;
(d) an act is treated as done in good faith if it is in fact done honestly, whether it is done negligently or not.

(b) unless it is proved that the person from whom recovery is sought had notice or might by making reasonable inquiry have ascertained that the goods were not the property of the execution debtor.
(4) This section does not affect the right of any claimant who may prove that at the time of sale he had title to any goods so seized and sold to any remedy to which he may be entitled against any person other than the bailiff or purchaser.
