2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 52 - Civil Actions|Chapter 904 - Attachments|Section 52-289 - Attachment of corporate rights or shares.

 Rights or shares in the stock of any corporation, together with the dividends and profits due and growing due thereon, may be attached and taken on execution. Such attachment shall be made by leaving a true and attested copy of the process and of the accompanying complaint, with the proper endorsement thereon of the officer serving the same, with the defendant or at his usual place of abode, if within the state, and with the secretary, clerk or cashier of such corporation or, if such corporation has no secretary, clerk or cashier or if he is absent from the state, then at the principal place in the state where such corporation transacts its business or exercises its corporate powers. When an officer with a writ of attachment applies to such secretary, clerk or cashier, for the purpose of attaching such rights or shares, the secretary, clerk or cashier shall furnish him with a certificate, under his hand, in his official capacity, specifying the number of rights or shares which the defendant holds in the stock of such corporation, with the encumbrances thereon, if any, and the amount of dividends thereon due, and upon the failure of any secretary, clerk or cashier to furnish such officer with such certificate, he shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars. Such rights or shares, together with the dividends and profits, shall be held to respond to the judgment which may be recovered in such action for sixty days after its rendition; but no attachment of shares of stock for which a certificate is outstanding shall be valid until such certificate is actually seized by the officer making the attachment, or is surrendered to the corporation which issued it.(1949 Rev., S. 8031; 1959, P.A. 574, S. 5.)History: 1959 act deleted provision which stated as possible condition for valid attachment that attachment of stock shares for which certificate is outstanding is not valid until “its transfer by the holder [is] enjoined”.Absence of cashier. 17 C. 259.

 The property of a voluntary association, whether held by it or by trustees for its benefit, may be attached and held to respond to any judgment that may be recovered against it; but the individual property of its members shall not be liable to attachment or levy of execution in actions against such association to which such members are not parties. Any judgment obtained in a joint action against such association and its members shall be satisfied first from the personal property of such association, if the same is sufficient, and thereafter the property of any member of such association against whom judgment was rendered jointly with such association may be taken upon execution to satisfy the unpaid portion of such judgment. The attachment lien on the personal property of any member of such voluntary association against whom judgment is rendered in an action so brought shall not expire until two months from the completion of the levy issued upon the personal property of such association; and if real estate of any member has been attached in such action and judgment therein is rendered, the attachment lien thereon shall not expire until four months from the completion of the levy of the execution against the personal property of such association. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the plaintiff in any action of tort from satisfying such judgment out of the real estate of such association.(1949 Rev., S. 8035.)See Sec. 52-76 re actions by and against voluntary associations.Creditor may sue association, or the individuals composing it; in the former case he can levy only on the property of the association. 55 C. 113.Failure to return complaint for two and one-half years not diligent as required for application of statute. 50 CA 632.Cited. 33 CS 730.
