Assignment for Trial on Motion

of Garnishee When, in an action commenced by process of foreign attachment, the defendant does not appear, if the plaintiff does not take a default in such action within four months after the day on which the process is returnable to such court, the judicial authority may, at any time thereafter, upon motion of any garnishee in such action, assign the same for trial. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 278.)
