Question

Order Absolute means:

• A. Temporary suspension of withdrawals
• B. Final attachment of funds
• C. Closure of account
• D. Transfer of funds to court only

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Final attachment of funds

An Order Absolute is the final stage of a garnishee proceeding. It confirms the attachment made earlier under Order Nisi. It directs the garnishee (bank) to pay or transfer the attached funds to the judgment creditor. The attachment becomes final and enforceable. Why other options are incorrect: ❌ Temporary suspension of withdrawals – This applies to Order Nisi, not Order Absolute ❌ Closure of account – Garnishee order does not mandate account closure ❌ Transfer of funds to court only – Funds are transferred as directed (usually to judgment creditor)
