French term or phrase: remis au saisi

This is in a petition to a Court of First Instance for the seizure of goods infringing a patent. I am aware that "saisi" means distrainee, but am not sure of the meaning of these three words together in this sentence:

"La requérante sollicite qu’il vous plaise, M. le Président:
…
Dire que les tirages destinés à être joints à la copie du procès-verbal de saisie, remis au saisi, pourront ne lui être adressés qu’après clôture des opérations de saisie".

Does it mean "handed over at the distrainee's" (as "handed over to the distrainee" does not appear to make sense)? If not, any ideas?

TIA for any assistance.

English translation:given to the distrainee

Explanation:
It does make sense. The pictures attached to the warrant might not be delivered to the distrainee until after the whole procedure is completed

Thank you. I now realise that "remis" is being used in the sense of "given BACK" or "returned", rather than simply handed over, which I didn't quite see when I submitted the question.
