In order to aid in its collection of the judgment, the City filed and served citations to discover assets upon respondent, David Zaransky, personally and as a corporate officer of all the defendants. A hearing was ordered to settle the issue of whether respondent Zaransky violated the City's citations as a matter of law by making payment, not for his benefit but for defendants in the operation of business and as a matter of necessity. After the hearing, the trial court dismissed the City's petition.
All questions arise on the pleadings.
Immediately after the judgment was entered, numerous citations to discover assets were issued by the City. The citations were all served on respondent, both personally and as the responsible corporate officer of all defendants. Respondent was served with these citations at his residence in the evening. You are not required to withhold the payment of any money beyond double the amount of the judgment. Your failure to comply with the citation proceeding may result in a judgment being entered against you for the unsatisfied amount of this judgment.
