INTRODUCTION: This is a garnishee case conducted at the High Court of Delta State Warri. The Judgment creditor got judgment for a certain amount in the Federal High Court Lagos. The Judgment debtor appealed to the Court of Appeal. At the Court of Appeal, the judgment creditor applied that the judgment sum be deposited into an interest yielding account in the name of the Chief Registrar of the Court of Appeal. This order was complied with by the judgment debtor. The Judgment Debtor lost the appeal at the Court of Appeal and subsequently lost the final appeal at the Supreme Court. This brought to an end the case between parties as the judgment sum was already paid into an interest yielding account at the instance of the Judgment Creditor.
