TGC lawyer Ian Kennedy successfully defended a pre-judgment garnishing order obtained in favour of a client who is bringing an action for wrongful dismissal against his former employer.

As set out in the decision, pre-judgment garnishment orders are an extraordinary remedy and require strict compliance with statutory requirements.

The level of compliance required to obtain pre-judgment garnishment is described as meticulous compliance.  That standard was met by Mr. Kennedy in this case.
