Garnishee - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

In a garnishment proceeding, if the court rules for the plaintiff-creditor, the defendant-debtor�s asset under a third-party�s control will be garnished. The third party here is called a garnishee, and the plaintiff is a garnishor. The most common garnishees are employer of the debtor, or a bank in which the debtor has an account. When the garnishee receives a court judgment of garnishment (often called the writ of garnishment), the garnishee should stop the debtor�s access to the fund under the garnishee�s control. The garnishee essentially acts as an officer for the court, and the garnishee can be held liable if it transfers the debtor�s funds or assets upon the debtor�s request.
