A garnishee who, without legitimate cause, fails to provide the information required may be
liable to pay the sums for which the attachment is made where the said attachment is converted
into a writ of attachment and award subject to any action he may bring against the debtor.
He may also be ordered to pay damages in the event of willful negligence or an inaccurate or
false declaration.
Where the garnishee’s declarations are not contested before the act of conversion, they shall be
deemed to be accurate for purposes of the attachment.
