S. V. Richards v A. T. W. Richards (1 of 1932) [1932] SLSC 1 (11 March 1932)


Civil Procedure -execution - garnishee order- not available in respect
of future earnings - only made in respect of debts owing or accruing:
There is no procedure available to enforce a maintenance order by
restraining the respondent from receiving further salary until he has paid
the arrears due, for this would be equivalent to a garnishee order which
may be granted only in respect of debts owing or accruing, and since
future earnings fall into neither of these categories they may not be the
subject of such an order.
