The judgment creditor initially gets an order nisi which compels the third party to show cause why the order should not be made absolute.The law has always been that where a court has finally decided a matter before it effectively, such a court cannot review/set aside same judgment. The paper will attempt to critically look into concept of judgment of a court; when a court becomes functus officio and its applicability to garnishing proceedings.
