An Emoluments (Salary) Attachment Order to Repay Debt

This is one of the most common ways that a debt is collected from the consumer after judgment is granted. Here the court orders the consumer’s employer to deduct the debt in specified instalments from the consumer’s salary. It is sometimes incorrectly called a garnishee order. It is also unlawful for the employer to refuse to deduct the money because the instruction comes from the court.
