Section 6-6-430Filing of bond; discharge of money or property from garnishment; proceedings as if bond not executed; judgment; discharge of garnishee. (a) When garnishment has been issued in aid of a pending action or upon a judgment, the defendant may make and file with the judge or clerk issuing the garnishment bond in such sum as the judge or clerk may prescribe, not exceeding twice the amount of the plaintiff's demand, payable to the plaintiff, with sufficient surety, to be approved by such judge or clerk, conditioned to pay the amount for which the garnishee may be found indebted or liable to the defendant and the cost of the garnishment. Thereupon, the money or property in the hands of the garnishee is discharged from the garnishment and the garnishee relieved of all liability therefor to the plaintiff; but the garnishee must answer, and, except as is otherwise provided in this article, the case must proceed and be determined as if such bond had not been executed. (b) If the garnishee is found to be indebted or liable to the defendant in money or property, the amount or value thereof must be ascertained and judgment entered for such amount or value against the defendant and the sureties on such bond and for the costs of the garnishment; but such judgment, exclusive of the costs of the garnishment, must not exceed the amount of the judgment, interest and costs in the original action or the amount of the bond. If the garnishee shall fail to answer, a conditional judgment may be entered against him and proceedings had thereon as in other cases; and, if the conditional judgment is made absolute, judgment for the like amount must be entered against the defendant and the sureties on his bond and for the costs of the garnishment, subject to the limitations expressed in this section; and execution thereon may issue against the defendant and his sureties on such bond, but not against the garnishee. No judgment must be entered against the bond until judgment has been entered in the original action in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant. (c) The garnishee is not discharged from liability to the defendant until he has paid the debt or satisfied the demand the garnishment was intended to reach. (Code 1896, §2183; Code 1907, §4312; Code 1923, §8063; Code 1940, T. 7, §1007.)

Thereupon, the garnishment is dissolved and the garnishee discharged and need not answer; and, upon the trial of the case, if judgment is entered or ascertained to exist in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant, the court must also enter judgment against the obligors in the bond for the amount of such judgment, interest thereon and costs of the action. (b) The giving of the bond authorized in this section operates to discharge all garnishees in the case, whether one or more. (Code 1896, §2184; Code 1907, §4313; Code 1940, T. 7, §1008.)

(a) When the garnishee admits indebtedness or liability to the defendant and the defendant has not executed bond for the dissolution of the garnishment, as provided in Division 4 of this article, the garnishee may, by order of the court first had and obtained, pay the amount of such indebtedness or liability or so much thereof as the court may direct into the hands of the clerk, to be held subject to the judgment in the case. Such payment has the effect to discharge the garnishee from liability for the amount so paid and interest subsequently accruing thereon, but does not prevent the interposition and trial of collateral issues as provided in Division 6 of this article. (b) The court may, in its discretion, direct the clerk to deposit, pending the action, the money at interest in a bank authorized to receive deposits of public funds.

Upon the return of the sheriff or such other officer that such property was not delivered or the value thereof or such sum of money was not paid to him as required by the judgment, execution must be issued for the ascertained value of such property or for the sum of money payable therein, if the same is less than the amount of the judgment against the defendant in the original action, or, if more or equal thereto, for the amount thereof.

Section 6-6-456Judgment and proceedings if possession of effects subject to levy and sale admitted.

If the garnishee fails to deliver such effects to the sheriff on demand, he must make return thereof to the clerk, who must thereupon issue an execution against the garnishee in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of the judgment and costs. If, however, such failure is without fault or negligence on the part of the garnishee, he may tender to the plaintiff, his agent, or attorney the value of such effects; and, if such tender is refused, he may obtain relief by supersedeas.

The defendant, upon the coming in of the answer, may, within 30 days after notice of the filing of the answer, allege that the garnishee is indebted to him in a larger sum than he has admitted, is otherwise liable to him on a demand, the subject of garnishment, or that he holds money or effects of the defendant not admitted in his answer, which, being reduced to writing setting forth particularly in what respect the answer is deficient and being sworn to, an issue must thereupon be made up, under the direction of the court, which must be tried by a jury if required by either party; but such controversy shall not prevent the plaintiff from taking judgment upon the answer of the garnishee.

(b) If he appears, he must be required to propound his claim in writing and make oath thereto, upon which the plaintiff must take issue in law or in fact, and the issue in fact must be tried by a jury, if required by either party. If the issue is found for the plaintiff, judgment must be entered against the garnishee on his answer or, if for the contestant, the garnishee must be discharged. (c) If the contestant is a nonresident, the contest must be stayed 60 days and the same proceedings had as in the case of a nonresident defendant. (d) If two notices to the resident contestant be returned "not found," a judgment must be entered against the garnishee on his answer. (e) The interposition of these collateral issues does not affect the jurisdiction of the court obtained by levy of the attachment or service of garnishment. (f) Upon the trial of these collateral issues, either party may appeal any question, and judgment for costs must be entered against the unsuccessful party.
