Effect of disclosure
N.D. Cent. Code § 32-09.1-11
in effect32-09.1-11. Effect of disclosure
Subject to the provisions of sections 32-09.1-12 and 32-09.1-13, the disclosure is
conclusive as to all property of the defendant. If the garnishee denies having any indebtedness
to the defendant or having any property of the defendant in possession, the filing in court of a
copy of the disclosure operates as a full discharge of the garnishee at the end of twenty days
from the date of service of the disclosure, in the absence of further proceedings as provided for
in sections 32-09.1-12 and 32-09.1-13. The filing of objections to the disclosure or the filing of
any motion or other proceedings operates as a stay of the discharge. The court may, upon
proper showing, relieve the plaintiff from the operation of the discharge after the expiration of
twenty days. The garnishee may be discharged where the value of the property of the defendant
held or indebtedness owing to the defendant is less than ten dollars, and the garnishee may
apply to the court to be discharged as to any property or indebtedness in excess of the amount
which may be required to satisfy the plaintiff's judgment.
