Hoffman Chevrolet, Inc. v. Washington County National Savings Bank

"A writ of attachment may be likened to a dam. Once it is laid in the hands of the garnishee it spontaneously creates a reservoir or collecting pool, from all assets, liquid or otherwise, that are then present or which may flow to the garnishee at any time prior to trial and judgment.” 1

In this appeal we are asked by Hoffman Chevrolet, Inc., the garnishee-appellant (Hoffman) to reverse a summary judgment entered against it by the Circuit Court for Washington County (Corderman, J.) in favor of the attaching creditor-appellee, Washington County National Savings Bank (Bank). 2
