§ 1156 Returnable, when.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

If a court issues an order of attachment at the start of a lawsuit, it must be returned by the same deadline as the summons. This keeps both documents on the same timeline from the beginning of the case.

If the order of attachment is issued later, after the case has already started, it must be returned within 20 days from the date it was issued. This gives a clear deadline no matter when the order comes into play during the case.

In simple terms, this rule sets the time limit for when an attachment order needs to be completed and returned to the court, depending on when it was issued during the legal process.
