GARNISHEE Meaning and Definition

1. Garnishee is a legal term that refers to a process where a third party is instructed by a court to withhold or seize a debtor's funds, assets, or property in order to satisfy a debt or legal obligation owed by the debtor. The third party, often a financial institution or an individual who owes money to the debtor, is known as the garnishee and is legally bound to comply with the court order.

   In this process, the garnishee holds the debtor's funds or assets for the purpose of paying off the debt owed to the creditor. The court may issue a garnishee order or garnishment order, which outlines the specific amount or percentage that should be withheld from the debtor's income or assets for the payment of the debt. Depending on the jurisdiction, the garnishee may be required to periodically forward the withheld funds to the creditor until the debt is fully satisfied.

   Garnishment is often used as a legal remedy in cases of unpaid debts, outstanding taxes, child support, or other financial obligations. It provides a means of recovering the owed amount directly from the debtor's income or assets, ensuring that the creditor receives some form of payment towards the debt. However, specific laws and regulations surrounding garnishee orders vary across different jurisdictions, and it is important for all parties involved to adhere to these legal requirements to prevent any potential complications or legal consequences.

2. In law, the person in whose hands the property of another is attached till the claims of a third party be satisfied.
