Re: Judgement
A creditor takes a judgment against a debtor. The
creditor may then start a second action
(a garnishment action)against
anyone (the garnishee defendant)who holds
anything of value that is the
debtor's and ask that the value be turned over to
the creditor (the garnishment)
and be applied against the debt.
