Judgment

Once a judgment has been entered, the following District Court forms and writs may be used in a small claims action without the need for adaptation: Writ of Execution and Citation in Supplementary Proceedings; Writ of Execution— Goods, Chattels, and Real Estate; Writ of Execution — Goods, Chattels, and Real Estate to Garnishee/Trustee; Application for Citation in Supplementary Proceedings; Citation in Supplementary Proceedings; Citation to Show Cause for Noncompliance with Court Order; Writ of Body Attachment; Writ of Attachment; Notice and Motion to Attach Wages and Defendant/Debtor's Objection to Wage Attachment; Notice to Employer (Trustee/Garnishee); Notice of Attachment (Not for Wages) and Defendant/Debtor's Objection to Notice of Attachment (Not for Wages); and Subpoena — Civil. In the event of the post-judgment attachment of a bank account, the same notices and right to a hearing that a defendant is accorded in a regular case of the District Court shall apply. The most current version of the forms are located on the Judiciary's website at www.courts.ri.gov under the heading of Public Resources, Forms.
