Important information for the garnishee

Please read this notice and the garnishee order for debts very carefully.

Attached to this notice is a garnishee order for debts issued out of a New South Wales court.

The order requires you (the garnishee) to pay money you are holding on behalf of or owe to the judgment debtor to the judgment creditor in satisfaction of the judgment debt.

The garnishee order takes effect from when it is served on you.

Time within which payment to be made

Payment must be made to the judgment creditor within 14 days after the date of service of this order or, if the order attaches a debt that falls due after that date, within 14 days after the date on which the debt falls due.

Making payments

Payment must be made to the judgment creditor at the address specified in the garnishee order.

You are entitled to retain a maximum of $13.00 to cover your expenses in complying with the garnishee order. Any amount that you retain for expenses does not operate to reduce the judgment debt.

A payment to the judgment creditor must be accompanied by a statement showing:

• The amount attached under the garnishee order.
• How much of that amount has been retained by you for your expenses.
• How much of the amount has been paid to the judgment creditor.

What if there is no debt due or accruing?

If you believe that there is no debt payable by you to the judgment debtor at the time of service of this order you may serve a statement to that effect on the judgment creditor. The statement must be in the approved form and set out the reasons you believe that there is no debt payable. Approved forms are available from the UCPR website at www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/ucpr or at any NSW court registry.

Debts yet to accrue

If the garnishee order attaches a debt that is due for payment to the judgment debtor more than 28 days after service of this order on you, you must, within that period of 28 days, serve notice of that fact on the judgment creditor. The notice must specify the date on which the debt is, or is likely to be, due for payment to the judgment debtor and, if the amount of the debt is less than the unpaid amount of the judgment debt specified in the garnishee order, the amount of the debt.

Lien or claim of third person

If you claim that some person, other than the judgment debtor, is or may be entitled to any money paid under the garnishee order, any debt attached by the garnishee order or any charge, lien or other interest in any such money or debt, you may apply to the court to determine your claim.
