Article 60 - (6001) PROVISIONAL REMEDIES GENERALLY
6001 - Kinds of provisional remedies; when remedy available to defendant.

 
    §  6001.  Kinds  of  provisional  remedies;  when  remedy available to
  defendant.  The  provisional  remedies   are   attachment,   injunction,
  receivership  and  notice  of  pendency.  On  a motion for a provisional
  remedy, the plaintiff shall state whether any other  provisional  remedy
  has  been  secured  or  sought  in  the  same  action  against  the same
  defendant, and the court may require  the  plaintiff  to  elect  between
  those  remedies  to  which  he  would  otherwise  be  entitled; for this
  purpose, seizure of a chattel in an action to recover  a  chattel  is  a
  provisional  remedy.  A cause of action contained in a counterclaim or a
  cross-claim,  and  a  judgment  demanded  thereon,  shall  entitle   the
  defendant to the same provisional remedies to which he would be entitled
  if  he  were  the  plaintiff,  the  party  against  whom the judgment is
  demanded were the defendant and the cause of action were contained in  a
  complaint.
