Enforcement - garnishee order

A garnishee order is used to seize debts owing to the judgment debtor. For example, if Y owes you money as your judgment debtor, and in turn, Z owes him money, then the garnishee order can be delivered to Z. Z will then be ordered to pay you the amount owed up to the debt owed to you by Y.

For a business, their accounts receivable would be a good source for serving garnishee orders. An examination of judgment debtor can be used to determine who the appropriate parties are and the amounts owing.

For businesses and individuals, banks accounts also represent a major source of debts owing to judgment debtors.

Note again, garnishee orders costs money to execute.
