Judgment against garnishee

N.D. Cent. Code § 32-09.1-15

in effect

32-09.1-15. Judgment against garnishee Judgment against a garnishee must be rendered, if at all, for the amount due the defendant, or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the plaintiff's judgment against the defendant, with costs taxed and allowed in the proceeding against the garnishee but not to exceed the retention amount defined under section 32-09.1-07. The judgment must discharge the garnishee from all claims of all the parties named in the process to the property, earnings, or money paid, delivered, or accounted for by the garnishee by force of the judgment. When a person is charged as garnishee by reason of any property in possession other than an indebtedness payable in money, that person shall deliver the property, or so much of the property as may be necessary, to the officer holding execution, and the property must be sold and the proceeds accounted for in the same manner as if the property had been taken on execution against the defendant. The garnishee may not be compelled to deliver any specific articles at any time or place other than as stipulated in the contract with the defendant.
