In this wrongful dismissal action on behalf of a dismissed employee, where there were real concerns about the ability to recover a judgment against the defendant employer, we successfully implemented and then defended garnishing process which had the effect of placing assets “in court” for payment of the eventual award.

The wrongful dismissal case involved a claim by an employee for a termination payment that was “guaranteed”, and thus a liquidated claim capable of supporting pre-judgement garnishment, not a typical claim for damages for wrongful dismissal, which would not permit attachment process before judgment.
