A quick definition of attachment:

An attachment is a court order that takes away someone's property. This can happen before a trial or after a final decision has been made. It's done to make sure the person being sued doesn't hide their things or move them somewhere else. For example, if someone owes money and has a bank account, the court might take some of the money in the account to pay the debt. The court has to follow rules and have a hearing before taking someone's property. Sometimes, the person who wants the attachment has to give money to the court to make sure they give the property back if they lose the case.

A more thorough explanation:

An attachment is a legal order that allows a court to seize specific property. This can be done before a trial as a provisional remedy or after a final judgment has been made. The purpose of attachment is to prevent a defendant from making themselves "judgment-proof" by transferring assets outside of the court's jurisdiction.

  • If a defendant is being sued for a large amount of money, the court may attach their bank account to prevent them from transferring all of their money to an offshore account.
  • If a debtor owes money to a creditor, the court may attach the debtor's property to help pay off the debt. This can be done by transferring the property directly to the creditor or by selling it and giving the proceeds to the creditor.

In both of these examples, attachment is used to ensure that the defendant or debtor cannot avoid paying what they owe. The court must follow certain procedures and hold a hearing before ordering attachment as a provisional remedy. In some cases, the plaintiff may need to offer a cash bond to ensure that they will return the defendant's property if they do not win their lawsuit.

Overall, attachment is a powerful tool that courts can use to enforce judgments and protect the rights of creditors. It is important for both plaintiffs and defendants to understand how attachment works and what their rights are under the law.
