AI Generated Summary
This case involves an application for a Garnishee Order Nissi under Order 47 of C.I 47/04. The Plaintiff/Execution/Creditor has obtained a valid judgment against the Defendant/Judgment/Debtor, who has failed to pay the judgment debt. The application was made ex parte, as permitted by court rules. The court, satisfied with the merits of the application, decided to issue a Garnishee Order Nissi directed at three garnishees: Bank of Africa, Ministry of Roads and Highways, and Ministry of Finance. The court ordered that the garnishees be personally served to appear on an appointed date to show cause why they should not be ordered to pay the judgment debts owed by the Defendant/Judgment/Debtor to the Plaintiff/Judgment/Creditor. A Hearing Notice is to accompany the order when served. The case was adjourned to 7/11/2018 for proceeding absolute to be heard. This decision demonstrates the court's procedure for enforcing judgment debts through garnishment when a debtor is believed to have funds held by third parties.
