CT Gen Stat § 52-382 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 52 - Civil Actions|Chapter 906 - Postjudgment Procedures|Section 52-382 - Levy on nonresident garnishee.

 In an action by foreign attachment in which the garnishee is described as a nonresident and service has been made upon his agent transacting business in his behalf in this state, the plaintiff, on taking out an execution, may direct the officer serving the same to make demand of such agent or of such garnishee for the effects of the defendant in such agent's hands at the time of the attachment and for the payment of any debt then due from such garnishee to the defendant, and the person upon whom such demand is made shall produce or pay the same, to be taken and applied on such execution. If such agent of such garnishee has disposed of the effects of the principal which were in his hands when the copy of the writ was left with him or does not expose them to be taken on the execution or does not pay the officer, when demanded, the debt due the defendant at the time the copy of the writ was left with him, such judgment may be satisfied out of the estate of such garnishee which he may own in this state, as his proper debt, if the effects or debt is of sufficient value or amount, if not, then to the value of such effects or to the amount of such debt; and a scire facias may be taken out from the court where the judgment was rendered, as in other cases, on which the estate of the garnishee may be attached, and which shall be served on the agent of such garnishee, requiring such garnishee to appear personally or by his agent, before such court, and show cause, if any, to the contrary. The plaintiff may require the defendant, who shall have the right, by himself or his agent, to disclose on oath whether he has any of the goods of the debtor in his hands, or in the hands of such agent, or whether he is indebted to him; and the parties may introduce any other proper testimony respecting such facts. If it is found that the defendant has the effects of such debtor in the hands of his agent or is indebted to him or if he makes default of appearance or refuses to disclose on oath, judgment may be rendered against him, as for his own debt, to be paid out of his own estate, with costs, and execution shall be granted accordingly. If it appears on the trial that the effects are of less value, or the debt of less amount, than the judgment recovered against the debtor, judgment shall be rendered to the value of the goods or to the amount of the debt; and, if it appears that the defendant has no effects of such agent or is not indebted to him, he shall recover costs.(1949 Rev., S. 8126.)Cited. 121 C. 315; 153 C. 588.

 When it appears on the hearing of any scire facias, founded on a foreign attachment, that the debt due the principal is not yet payable, the court shall direct the execution to be stayed until the time the debt would have become payable; and when the debt was not payable at the time the demand was made on the execution, the court shall allow the garnishee his reasonable costs for defending against such scire facias, to be deducted out of the debt so due.(1949 Rev., S. 8130.)Cited. 120 C. 270.

 When a scire facias is brought to recover a debt or effects taken by a foreign attachment, if any person or persons, either jointly or severally, claim such debt as assignee or assignees thereof, or such effects as owner or owners thereof, the defendant in such scire facias, having notice or knowledge of such assignment, ownership or claim, may give notice in writing, signed by proper authority and duly served, to such claimant or claimants, or his or their attorney, that such scire facias is pending, and that he or they may appear, if they see cause, and defend against it; which notice, when the claimant or claimants reside out of the state, shall be given in such time and manner as the court, before which such action is pending, directs; and thereupon, unless such claimant or claimants, within such time as such court may direct, give to such defendant sufficient security, to the approval of the court, to indemnify him against all costs, he may suffer judgment to be given against him on such scire facias, which shall be a bar to the claim of the assignee or assignees of the debt, or the owner or owners of the effects, against him for the same. If such assignee or assignees or owner or owners give such security and make effectual defense against the scire facias, he or they shall be entitled to the costs recovered against the plaintiff; but if he or they fail to make an effectual defense, the judgment rendered on the scire facias against the defendant shall be a bar to any claim against him by them for such debt or effects. If, after such security has been given, the defendant, on due notice given him, neglects to appear and disclose on oath, if required, on the trial of such scire facias, or, if a commission is issued, neglects to make disclosure before the commissioners, he shall take no benefit by the provisions of this section, nor of such security.(1949 Rev., S. 8131.)Cited. 48 C. 413.
