§ 1180 Persons authorized to make answer.

If a company gets called into court as a garnishee (meaning someone else's money or property is being held by them), the company doesn't have to send a top executive to answer the court's questions. Any officer of the company, or the company's lawyer, can give the answer on its behalf.

The same idea applies to anyone else named as a garnishee, whether it's a person or a business. That garnishee can have an agent or a lawyer speak for them and provide the answer instead of showing up and handling it alone. This rule just makes it easier for garnishees to respond to the court without requiring one specific person to do it.
