Use of writ for provisional process.

(2) Notwithstanding ORS 18.730, if a writ of garnishment is issued pursuant to an order for provisional process under ORCP 83 and 84, all payments of money by the garnishee under the writ shall be made to the court administrator for the court specified in the writ as the court with authority over the writ. The court administrator shall hold the money pending entry of a judgment against the debtor unless the court finds, upon a challenge to the garnishment made by the debtor under ORS 18.700, that all or part of the money is exempt from execution or not subject to garnishment. If judgment is entered in favor of the debtor, the judgment must direct the court administrator to pay the money to the debtor. If judgment is entered in favor of the creditor, the judgment must direct the court administrator to pay to the creditor as much of the money as will satisfy the judgment and to pay the remainder to the debtor.

If judgment is entered in favor of the debtor, the judgment must direct the sheriff to deliver the property to the debtor. If judgment is entered in favor of the creditor, the judgment must direct the sheriff to sell the property in the manner provided by ORS 18.758. (4) If property taken into the possession of the sheriff under a writ of garnishment issued pursuant to an order for provisional process under ORCP 83 and 84 is perishable, or the cost of storing the property is great, the sheriff shall sell the property in the same manner in which property is sold on execution. The proceeds shall be held and distributed in the same manner as provided in subsection (2) of this section for payments made under the writ. (5) The court administrator shall attach to any writ of garnishment issued pursuant to an order for provisional process under ORCP 83 and 84 a notice that informs the garnishee of the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.
