--(1) This rule sets out the effect of a provisional attachment of debt order.
--(2) It becomes binding on the garnishee as soon as it is served on him.
--(3) The garnishee does not then have to pay the judgment debtor anything except to the extent that his debt to the judgment debtor is greater than the amount of the attachment of debts order.
--(4) However, it means that if he pays anyone but the judgment creditor he may have to make a further payment to the judgment creditor in accordance with the terms of any final attachment of debt order that the court may make.
