Plain-English Summary
Garnishment isn't a one-shot process. Section 1175 lets the judgment creditor proceed against other garnishees beyond the ones already named, or return to the same garnishees, but only by filing a new affidavit and only when the creditor has reason to believe those garnishees have become liable to the defendant since the last proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a creditor garnish additional people or companies after the first garnishment?
Yes. Section 1175 lets the creditor proceed against other garnishees the same way, on a new affidavit.
Can the same garnishee be served with garnishment more than once?
Yes, if the creditor has reason to believe the garnishee has since become liable to the defendant and files a new affidavit.
Does going after a new garnishee require starting the lawsuit over?
No. Section 1175 lets the creditor proceed against additional garnishees within the same case, on a new affidavit.
