Following Through on Garnishment to Recover an Alberta Judgment

Follow-up on service documentation and the release of court-held garnishment funds completed an Alberta judgment recovery.

Small ClaimsJudgment EnforcementGarnishmentCourt-Held Funds

The situation

An insurance company client engaged Precision Paralegal Services to recover a collision-related loss in Alberta.

Our approach

The matter progressed through a claim and judgment to garnishment proceedings. However, collecting funds through garnishment did not immediately complete the recovery: further work was required to have the court release the money it held.

Precision Paralegal Services followed up with the garnishee and the court concerning service documentation and the release of funds. The file history subsequently confirmed that the judgment had been satisfied.

Our team coordinated payment of the recovered funds to the client and followed up on delivery before the file was closed.

The outcome

The judgment was satisfied through garnishment, and the recovered funds were sent to the client.

What this case illustrates

Judgment enforcement includes the work needed to get collected money into the client’s hands. Following up on service records, court requirements and payment delivery can be essential to completing the process.
