Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
At any time before final order or judgment against the
garnishee, the defendant may in all cases, by answer duly verified
defend the proceedings against any garnishee, upon the ground that
the indebtedness of the garnishee, or any property held by him, is
exempt from execution against such defendant, or for any other
reason is not liable to garnishment; or upon any ground upon which a
garnishee might defend the same; and may participate in the trial of
any issue between the plaintiff and garnishee for the protection of

his interests.  The garnishee may at his option, defend the
principal action for the defendant, if the latter does not, but
shall be under no obligations so to do.
