In a personal injury action, can a garnishment and garnishment remedy be sought?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Baier v. Alberta, 2006 ABCA 187 (CanLII):
In such situations, judges have sometimes given an interlocutory injunction pending appeal. Conceivably a Mareva injunction or its statutory equivalent might be possible. Or maybe garnishment before judgment might be. Those are obviously of no use in the present case. Counsel pointed out to us the possibility of a remedy under s. 24(1) of the Charter, citing RJR-MacDonald v. A.-G. 1994 CanLII 117 (SCC), [1994] 1 SCR 311 (para. 34).
