Section 6-6-461 Effect of judgment for plaintiff as between garnishee and defendant. The judgment
condemning the debt, demand, money, or effects to the satisfaction of the plaintiff's demand
is conclusive as between the garnishee and the defendant to the extent of such judgment, unless
the defendant prosecutes to effect an appeal from such judgment, which he may do in his own
name; and, if such judgment is stayed by bond and the garnishee is notified of the fact, he
is not permitted to discharge such judgment pending the appeal. (Code 1852, §2563; Code 1867,

6-6-463
Section 6-6-463 Disposition of claims of other persons suggested by garnishee. (a) When the
garnishee, by his answer as originally filed or by any supplemental answer thereafter, alleges,
at any time before final judgment against him, that he has been notified that another person
claims title to, or an interest in, the debt, demand, money, or effects which, by his answer,
he has admitted to be due or owing or to be in his possession, the clerk must issue notice
to the suggested claimant to appear within 30 days after service of the notice and propound
his claim and contest with the plaintiff the right to such debt, demand, money or effects.
(b) If he appears, he must be required to propound his claim in writing and make oath thereto,
upon which the plaintiff must take issue in law or in fact, and the issue in fact must be
tried by a jury, if required by either party. If the issue is found for the plaintiff, judgment

Section 6-8-86 Judgment for defendant - Compulsory counterclaims. On a compulsory counterclaim,
if the claim or demand of the defendant equals the claim or demand of the plaintiff, judgment
must be entered for the defendant; if the claim or demand of the defendant exceeds the claim
or demand of the plaintiff and the plaintiff is the party liable to its satisfaction, judgment

6-6-431
Section 6-6-431 Bond in double amount; dissolution of garnishment and discharge of all garnishees;
judgment against obligors. (a) The defendant may, instead of the bond mentioned in Section
6-6-430, give bond in double the amount of the plaintiff's demand, payable to the plaintiff,
with sufficient surety, to be approved by the judge or clerk and conditioned to pay such judgment
as may be entered or ascertained to exist in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant
in the case and costs of the action. Thereupon, the garnishment is dissolved and the garnishee
discharged and need not answer; and, upon the trial of the case, if judgment is entered or
ascertained to exist in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant, the court must also
enter judgment against the obligors in the bond for the amount of such judgment, interest
thereon and costs of the action. (b) The giving of the bond authorized in this section operates
to discharge all garnishees in the case, whether one or more....

6-6-456
Section 6-6-456 Judgment and proceedings if possession of effects subject to levy and sale
admitted. If the garnishee admits the possession of effects of the defendant, the subject
of levy and sale under legal process, judgment of condemnation must be entered that such effects
be delivered upon demand after the entry of judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the original
action, or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the judgment, and the sheriff must
make sale thereof. If the garnishee fails to deliver such effects to the sheriff on demand,
he must make return thereof to the clerk, who must thereupon issue an execution against the
garnishee in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of the judgment and costs. If, however,
such failure is without fault or negligence on the part of the garnishee, he may tender to
the plaintiff, his agent, or attorney the value of such effects; and, if such tender is refused,
he may obtain relief by supersedeas. (Code 1852, §§2542-2544; Code...

6-6-430
Section 6-6-430 Filing of bond; discharge of money or property from garnishment; proceedings
as if bond not executed; judgment; discharge of garnishee. (a) When garnishment has been issued
in aid of a pending action or upon a judgment, the defendant may make and file with the judge
or clerk issuing the garnishment bond in such sum as the judge or clerk may prescribe, not
exceeding twice the amount of the plaintiff's demand, payable to the plaintiff, with sufficient
surety, to be approved by such judge or clerk, conditioned to pay the amount for which the
garnishee may be found indebted or liable to the defendant and the cost of the garnishment.
Thereupon, the money or property in the hands of the garnishee is discharged from the garnishment
and the garnishee relieved of all liability therefor to the plaintiff; but the garnishee must
answer, and, except as is otherwise provided in this article, the case must proceed and be
determined as if such bond had not been executed. (b) If the...

Section 6-6-410 Debt or demand on which action pending. A debt or demand which is subject to
garnishment may be reached and subjected though an action may be pending thereon; and if the
action is not pending in the court from which the garnishment issues, the court, on proof
by the garnishee of the pendency of the garnishment, must, on the entry of judgment, stay
execution until notified by the clerk of the court in which the garnishment or attachment
is instituted that final judgment has been entered, in which case he must make the appropriate
order according to whether the judgment is entered for the plaintiff or defendant. (Code 1852,
§2524; Code 1867, §2951; Code 1876, §3276; Code 1886, §2952; Code 1896, §2177; Code 1907,

Section 6-10-29 Contest of exemption claim - Filing of inventory by defendant; effect of failure
to file. On any contest of a claim of exemption to personal property, on the plaintiff's written
demand, made at any time, the defendant claiming the exemption shall, within 10 days, file
a full and complete inventory, duly verified by oath, of all his or her personal property,
except the wearing apparel, portraits, pictures, and books specifically exempted from levy

6-6-459
Section 6-6-459 Contest of answer by defendant. The defendant, upon the coming in of the answer,
may, within 30 days after notice of the filing of the answer, allege that the garnishee is
indebted to him in a larger sum than he has admitted, is otherwise liable to him on a demand,
the subject of garnishment, or that he holds money or effects of the defendant not admitted
in his answer, which, being reduced to writing setting forth particularly in what respect
the answer is deficient and being sworn to, an issue must thereupon be made up, under the
direction of the court, which must be tried by a jury if required by either party; but such
controversy shall not prevent the plaintiff from taking judgment upon the answer of the garnishee.

Section 6-6-391 Affidavit of amount due plaintiff. To obtain such writ of garnishment, the
plaintiff, his agent or attorney must make, before an officer authorized to administer oaths,
and file, with the clerk of the court in which the action is pending or the judgment was entered,
an affidavit stating the amount due from the defendant to the plaintiff, or his assignee,
that process of garnishment is believed to be necessary to obtain satisfaction thereof and
that the person to be summoned as garnishee is believed to be chargeable as garnishee in the
case. It is not ground of objection that two or more persons having separate interests are
mentioned as garnishees. (Code 1852, §2471; Code 1867, §2892; Code 1876, §3219; Code 1886,
