ML Manager, LLC v. Jensen
Annotate this CaseAppellants obtained a valid default judgment against Dale and Vicki Jensen. Appellant had a summons and order of garnishment in aid of execution issued to Pioneer Ventures, LLC. Pioneer Ventures timely filed its answers to Appellants’ interrogatories with the clerk of court. Appellants were not served with the answers but independently learned of the answers approximately one week later. Appellants subsequently filed an objection to the answers to interrogatories. The trial court ruled that Appellants’ objection was untimely because it was filed more than twenty days after Pioneer Ventures had filed its answers. On appeal, Appellants argued that the trial court erred by (1) ruling that the twenty-day time limit began to run from when the answer was filed and not when Appellants received actual notice, and (2) not requiring service of Pioneer Venture’s answers upon Appellants. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the garnishment statutes do not require the garnishee to serve or give notice to the garnishor of the interrogatory answers.
