Plain-English Summary
Rule 734 keeps collection moving. Proceedings for the trial of the right of property do not in any case prevent the plaintiff in the writ from having the writ levied on other property of the defendant — so a contested claim to one item does not stall enforcement against the rest of the defendant's property.

Why does Rule 734 matter to a plaintiff owed a debt?
It stops a contested claim to one item of property from holding up collection against everything else the defendant owns.
