What is the test for garnishee before judgment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Agrium Inc. et al v. Burgess Agri Supplies Ltd et al, 2001 BCSC 626 (CanLII):
It is clear from a number of authorities, not the least of which is Knowles v. Peter (1954), 1954 CanLII 533 (BC SC), 12 W.W.R. (NS) 560, that as a garnishee before judgment is an extraordinary remedy (some refer to it as a draconian remedy), there must be meticulous observance with the requirements enabling the granting of such an extraordinary remedy.
