      An enforcement court must, in the case of issuing an order under paragraph (1) to a possessor other than the obligor, interrogate that person; provided, however, that this does not apply when it is clear, under the record of the case, that the person does not possess the immovable property based on a title that may be duly asserted against the purchaser or if the enforcement court has already interrogated that person.
