Does a garnishee affect the position of the judgment debtor?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bank of Montreal v. Rogers, 1912 CanLII 77 (SK QB):
So far as the garnishees are concerned, it doesn’t seem to me to effect their position either, because under the authority of Beauchamp v. Messer, 13 W.L.R. 404, I gather that they would be entitled to set off such sums as they had to pay under this lien against the money otherwise due by them to the judgment debtor.
