garnishee summons that attaches employment earnings, a garnishee
who pays an attached obligation to the debtor during the grace period
determined in accordance with subsection (2) does not incur any

obligation attached by the garnishee summons and to prevent
it from being paid to the enforcement debtor, and
(
b) either
(
i) the payment was not authorized, permitted or effected
by an officer, employee or agent of the garnishee who
had actual knowledge of the garnishment before the
payment was made, or
(ii) it was not reasonably possible in the circumstances to
prevent the payment from being made to the debtor.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the grace period begins when
the garnishee summons is served on the garnishee and ends
(
a) at midnight on the day that the garnishee summons is served,
if the garnishee summons is served on the office, branch or

attached obligation, or
(
b) at midnight on the 7th day following the day that the
garnishee summons is served on the garnishee, if service of

Employment earnings
35.25(1) Unless the Court otherwise orders, a garnishee summons
does not attach a debtor's employment earnings that are ordinarily
payable at the end of the pay period during which the garnishee
summons is served unless the garnishee summons is served on the
garnishee
(
a) at least 5 days before the end of the pay period, in the case of
a pay period that is 10 days or less, and
(
b) at least 10 days before the end of the pay period, in the case
of a pay period that is more than 10 days.

(3) Within 15 days from the day of service of the garnishee
summons on a garnishee for the purpose of attaching employment
earnings, the garnishee must
(
a) if able, serve a copy of the garnishee summons on the debtor
(
i) in accordance with
section 35.05, or

b) deliver to the clerk a written response containing as much of
the following as is applicable:

summons against the debtor's employment
earnings is in effect, and
(
B) the expiry date of that other garnishee summons.
(4) Within 5 days after the end of the debtor's last pay period in any
month during which a garnishee summons is in effect, the garnishee
must
(
a) pay to the clerk the amount of the debtor's employment
earnings for the month that are attached by the garnishee
summons, less the garnishee's compensation in the amount
of $10, and
(
b) deliver to the clerk the statement required under
section
81(1)(
c) of the Act.
(5) Notwithstanding subsection (4), where a debtor's employment
earnings are paid more frequently than monthly, the garnishee may
elect to comply with subsection (4) at the end of each pay period,
rather than at the end of the last pay period in each month.
(6) If a garnishee elects under subsection (5) to comply with
subsection (4) at the end of each pay period, the debtor's minimum
and maximum employment earnings exemption for each pay period
is determined by multiplying the monthly exemption by the number
of days in the pay period and dividing the product by 30.

d) of the Act does not apply to a subsequent
garnishee summons where the garnishee summons that is already in
effect was issued pursuant to the Maintenance Enforcement Act.
Service by enforcement creditor
35.26(1) Instead of relying on a garnishee to serve a garnishee
summons on an enforcement debtor, an enforcement creditor may at
any time serve the garnishee summons on the enforcement debtor.
(2) If an enforcement creditor serves a garnishee summons on an
enforcement debtor,
(
a) that service of the garnishee summons has the same effect as
if the garnishee summons had been served on the
enforcement debtor by the garnishee, and
(
b) the enforcement creditor must complete the certificate
referred to in
section 35.23(5)(a)(i).
(3) Nothing in this
section shall be construed so as to remove from a
garnishee any obligation to serve the garnishee summons on the
enforcement debtor.

35.27(1) The clerk shall pay out money that is paid into Court
pursuant to a prejudgment garnishee summons only as directed by
the Court or as provided by this section.
(2) Except as otherwise ordered by the Court, the money or the
portion of the money referred to in subsection (1) necessary to
satisfy any related writ that is in force against the debtor constitutes a
distributable fund for the purposes of
Part 11 of the Act when
(
a) the clerk is satisfied that there is a related writ in force
against the debtor, and
(
b) the period of time referred to in
section 35.30(1) has expired.
(3) Except as otherwise ordered by the Court, if
(
a) a discontinuance of the claimant's action has been filed or a
judgment dismissing the claimant's action has been entered
with the clerk, and
(
b) there are no related writs in force against the debtor,
the clerk must pay the money referred to in subsection (1) to the
debtor on the debtor's written request to do so.
Renewal
35.28(1) This
section applies to any garnishee summons except a
garnishee summons that has been issued against a deposit account or
joint account.
(2) At any time within 60 days before the expiry date of a garnishee
summons, the instructing creditor may require the clerk to issue a
renewal statement by providing to the clerk a completed renewal
statement in Form 12 in
Schedule 4 in respect of the garnishee
summons stating the amount outstanding on all related writs in force
against the debtor.
(3) When a renewal statement is served on the garnishee on or
before the expiry date of the expiring garnishee summons,
(
a) the garnishee summons is renewed for a period of one year
from its current expiry date, and
(
b) the garnishee must, within 15 days from the day of being
served with the renewal statement, update the status of any
contingency referred to in the garnishee's response delivered
to the clerk under
section 35.23(2)(b).
(4) A renewal statement is void if it is not served on the garnishee
on or before the expiry date of the expiring garnishee summons.
(5) There is no limit on the number of times that a garnishee
summons may be renewed.
(6) Notwithstanding
section 78(
d) of the Act, a subsequent
garnishee summons issued against a joint account is effective if
(
a) the garnishee summons already in effect did not attach any
amount owing, or
(
b) the subsequent garnishee summons issued against the joint
account is authorized by the Court.
Change in amount outstanding
35.29 When a garnishee summons is in effect, any creditor may
serve on the garnishee an adjustment notice setting out the amount of
all relevant claims.
Distribution of funds
35.30(1) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, money paid into
Court pursuant to a garnishee summons shall not be distributed
under
Part 11 of the Act until 15 days from the day that the debtor is
served with the garnishee summons in accordance with
section
35.24, 35.25 or 35.26, as the case may be.
(2) The clerk is not required to make a distribution where the

last pay period for months affected by the
garnishee summons, pay to the court clerk
the debtor's net pay less
(
a) the debtor's employment earnings
exemption (see employment earnings
exemptions listed below), and
(b) $10 as a garnishee compensation.
Net pay means the debtor's total earnings minus
any amounts you are required to deduct for
income tax, Canada Pension Plan contributions
and employment insurance premiums. Any other
deductions are taken from the debtor's exemption.
The garnishee's response must contain as much of
the following as applicable:
1. Whether or not you employ the debtor.
2. How often you pay the debtor.
3. Either
(
a) a certificate of service on the debtor
(found on the second page of this
document) stating that you have
delivered a copy of the garnishee
summons to the debtor, or
(
b) a statement setting out why you could
not serve the garnishee summons on the
debtor.
Note: Send the original certificate of
service to the court clerk.
4. If you have already received another
garnishee summons against the debtor's
employment earnings and that garnishee
summons is still in effect, let the court clerk's
office know in writing and give the court file
number of the other garnishee summons. The
court file number is on the front page of the
garnishee summons.
At the end of the debtor's last pay period for each
month during which the garnishee summons is in
effect, you must deliver to the court clerk a
written statement setting out:
1. The debtor's total employment earnings for
the pay periods that ended during the month.
2. The amounts deducted from the total
earnings to calculate the debtor's net pay for
the month.
3. The number of the debtor's dependants.
Employment
earnings
exemptions
Calculate the debtor's monthly employment
earnings exemptions by adding together
(
a) the debtor's minimum exemption, and
(
b) half of the amount by which the
debtor's net pay exceeds this minimum
exemption.
For a debtor with no dependants, the minimum
employment earnings exemption is $800 and the
maximum is $2400. The minimum and maximum
employment earnings exemptions increase by
$200 for each dependant.
A dependant is:
1. A person identified as a dependant by Court
order.
2. The spouse or adult interdependent partner of
the debtor.
3. Any child of the debtor under 18 years of age
who lives with the debtor.
4. Any relative of the debtor (or of the debtor's
spouse/adult interdependent partner) who
lives with the debtor and, because of mental
or physical infirmity, depends financially on
the debtor.
You are entitled to rely on, and act in accordance
with, the debtor's written statement of the number
of dependants he or she has.
You can get a worksheet from the court clerk's
office to help you calculate the debtor's
employment earnings exemption.
When employment earnings are garnished for
alimony or maintenance, employment exemptions
under the Maintenance Enforcement Act apply.
Refer to the Maintenance Enforcement
Regulation (AR 2/86) for more information.
If you pay the debtor's salary/wage more often
than monthly, you can pay the court clerk at the
end of each pay period instead of at the end of
each month.
In this case, calculate the minimum and maximum
employment exemptions for each pay period as
follows:
1. Multiply the monthly exemption by the
number of days in the pay period.
2. Divide this number by 30.
