Rule 3147 Judgment against garnishee on pleadings or after trial

When a court decides that a garnishee (a third party holding someone's money or property) owes the plaintiff, the judgment covers whatever property or money of the defendant the garnishee is holding.

However, the garnishee cannot be ordered to pay more than what the defendant already owes the plaintiff. That cap includes the original judgment amount, plus any interest and court costs.
