Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When the defendant is
notified as hereinabove stated, but not
served with an order for attachment within the State, and
does not appear and answer
the action, judgment by default may be entered, which may be proceeded
upon to final judgment as in other cases of default, but in no case
shall judgment be entered against the defendant for a greater sum than
appears, by the affidavit of the plaintiff, to have been due at the time
of obtaining the order for attachment, with interest, damages
and costs; and such judgment shall bind, and enforcement had against the
property, credits and effects attached, and such judgment
shall not be enforced from any other property of the defendant; nor
shall such judgment be
any evidence of debt against the defendant in any subsequent cases.
