ATTACHMENT OF DEBTS

I. Attachment of debts

1. (1) The court may, upon the ex parte application of any person who has obtained a judgment or order for the recovery or payment of money, either before or after any oral examination of the debtor liable under such judgment or order (hereinafter called the judgment debtor), and upon affidavit by himself or his solicitor stating that judgment has been recovered, or the order made, and that it is still unsatisfied, and to what amount, and that any other person is indebted to such debtor, and is within the jurisdiction, order that all debts owing or accruing from such third person (hereinafter called the garnishee) to such debtor shall be attached to answer the judgment or order; and by the same or any subsequent order it may be ordered that the garnishee shall appear before the court or an officer of the court, as such court shall appoint, to show cause why he should not pay to the person who has obtained such judgment or order, the debt due from him to such debtor, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the judgment or order.
