TITLE 18 DEBTOR AND CREDITOR

Section 3. Attachment Proceedings, 18-3-1 through 18-3-75.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

18-3-2. Right to seek attachment on money demands generally.

In all cases of money demands, whether arising ex contractu or ex delicto, the plaintiff shall have the right to seek attachment when the defendant places himself in such situation as will authorize a plaintiff to seek attachment.

(Ga. L. 1857, p. 23, § 1; Code 1863, § 3199; Code 1868, § 3210; Code 1873, § 3278; Code 1882, § 3278; Civil Code 1895, § 4524; Civil Code 1910, § 5069; Code 1933, § 8-102.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Statute embraced all money demands, whether resting in tort or contract. Walker v. Zorn, 56 Ga. 35 (1876).

Attachment may issue when debtor resides out of state in all cases of money demands, whether arising ex contractu or ex delicto. Benefield v. Radiator Specialty Co., 116 Ga. App. 588, 158 S.E.2d 423 (1967).

Extent of judgment creditor's lien.

- Lien of judgment creditor is not a lien acquired by contract, but is given by law; consequently, a lienor is not in the position of a bona fide purchaser, and a lien extends only to property levied upon which actually belongs to the defendant in attachment. Parker v. Boyd, 208 Ga. 829, 69 S.E.2d 760 (1952).

Attachment proper as to action for specific damages arising in tort. Graves v. Strozier, 37 Ga. 32 (1867).

Attachment proper regarding promise to pay debt with solvent notes. Monroe v. Bishop, 29 Ga. 159 (1859).

Attachment proper as to breach of promise of marriage. Morton v. Pearman, 28 Ga. 323 (1859).
