Garnishee order

 A garnishee order is an order of a court asking the banker to stop either absolutely or partially the usual operation in the account of a particular customer, thereby attaching the funds  of the account in the hands of third party or as the court may determine and direct for the disposal of such funds. . The banker is known as Garnesee. A garnishment is a means of collecting a monetary judgment against a defendant by ordering a third party (the garnishee) to pay money, otherwise owed to the defendant, directly  to the  plaintiff.  In the case  of collecting  for  taxes,  the law  of a jurisdiction  may  allow  for collection without a judgment or other court order.
