(3) In this Schedule — “debtor”, in relation to an attachment of earnings order, or to proceedings in which the Grand Court has power to make an attachment of earnings order, or to proceedings arising out of such an order, means the person by whom payment is required by the relevant order to be made; “judgment debt” means a sum payable under a judgment or order enforceable by the Grand Court or a Summary Court; or an order of the court which is enforceable as if it were for the payment of money so recoverable; and “relevant order”, in relation to any payment secured or to be secured by an attachment of earnings order, means the judgment, order or other adjudication from which there arises the liability to make the payment. Application for order and conditions of court’s power to make it (1) The following persons may apply for an attachment of earnings order — (a) the person to whom payment under the relevant order is required to be made (whether directly or through any officer of the court); or (b) the debtor. (2) For an attachment of earnings order to be made on the application of any person other than the debtor it must appear to the court that the debtor has failed to make one or more payments required by the relevant order. Effect and contents of attachment of earnings order (1) An attachment of earnings order shall be an order directed to a person who appears to the court to have the debtor in that person’s employment and shall operate as an instruction to that person — (a) to make periodical deductions from the debtor’s earnings in accordance with paragraph 4; and (b) at such times as the order may require, or as the court may allow, to pay the amounts deducted to the collecting officer of the court, as specified in the order. (2) For the purposes of this Schedule, the relationship of employer and employee shall be treated as subsisting between two persons if one of them, as a principal and not as a servant or agent, pays to the other any sums defined as earnings by paragraph 15(1). (3) An attachment of earnings order shall contain prescribed particulars enabling the debtor to be identified by the employer. (4) The order shall specify the whole amount payable under the relevant order (or so much of that amount as remains unpaid), including any relevant costs. (5) The order shall specify — (a) the normal deduction rate, that is to say the rate (expressed as a sum of money per week, month or other period) at which the court thinks it reasonable for the debtor’s earnings to be applied to meeting the debtor’s liability under the relevant order; and (b) the protected earnings rate, that is to say the rate (so expressed) below which, having regard to the debtor’s resources and needs, the court thinks it reasonable that the earnings actually paid to the debtor should not be reduced. (6) For the purposes of an attachment of earnings order, the collecting officer of the court shall be the Courts Administrator or such other officer as the Chief Justice may appoint. Scheme of deductions by employer (1) On any pay-day — (a) “attachable earnings”, in relation to a pay-day, are the earnings payable to the debtor; (b) “the normal deduction” is arrived at by applying the normal deduction rate (as specified in the relevant attachment of earnings order) with respect to the relevant period; and (c) “the protected earnings” are arrived at by applying the protected earnings rate (as so specified) with respect to the relevant period. (2) For the purposes of this paragraph — (a) “pay-day”, in relation to earnings paid to a debtor, means an occasion on which they are paid; and (b) the relevant period in relation to any pay-day is the period beginning — (i) if it is the first pay-day of the debtor’s employment with the employer, with the first day of the employment; (ii) if on the last pay-day earnings were paid in respect of a period falling wholly or partly after that pay-day, with the first day after the end of that period; or (iii) in any other case, with the pay-day. (3) Where an attachment of earnings order is in force the employer shall on any pay-day — (a) if the attachable earnings exceed the protected earnings, deduct from the attachable earnings the amount of the excess or the normal deduction, whichever is the less; or (b) make no deduction if the attachable earnings are equal to, or less than, the protected earnings. (4) Where the employer is required to comply with two or more attachment of earnings orders in respect of the same debtor, then on any pay-day the employer shall, for the purpose of complying with this paragraph — (a) deal with the orders according to the respective dates on which they were made, disregarding any later order until an earlier one has been dealt with; and (b) deal with any later order as if the earnings to which it relates were the residue of the debtor’s earnings after the making of any deduction to comply with any earlier order. Compliance with order by employer (1) Where an attachment of earnings order has been made, the employer shall, if the employer has been served with the order, comply with it; but the employer shall be under no liability for non-compliance before seven days have elapsed since the service of the order. (2) Where a person is served with an attachment of earnings order directed to that person and that person has not the debtor in that person’s employment, or the debtor subsequently ceases to be in that person’s employment, that person shall (in either case), within ten days from the date of service or, as the case may be, the cesser of that employment, give notice of that fact to the court. (3) On any occasion when the employer makes, in compliance with the order, a deduction from the debtor’s earnings — (a) the employer shall be entitled to deduct, in addition, such sum as may be prescribed by rules made by the Rules Committee of the Grand Court towards the employer’s clerical and administrative costs; and (b) the employer shall give to the debtor a statement in writing of the total amount of the deduction. (4) Rules of the Rules Committee of the Grand Court under subparagraph (3)(a) may prescribe different sums in relation to different cases or classes of case. Interrelation with alternative remedies open to creditors (1) Where an attachment of earnings order has been made to secure the payment of a judgment debt — (a) no order or warrant of commitment shall be issued in consequence of any proceedings for the enforcement of the debt begun before the making of the attachment of earnings order; and (b) so long as the order is in force, no execution for the recovery of the debt shall issue against any property without leave of the court. (2) An attachment of earnings order made to secure the payment of a judgment debt shall cease to have effect on the making of an order of commitment or the issue of a warrant of commitment for the enforcement of the debt. Variation, lapse and discharge of orders (1) The court may make an order discharging or varying an attachment of earnings order. (2) Where an order is varied, the employer shall, if the employer has been served with notice of the variation, comply with the order as varied; but the employer shall be under no liability for non-compliance before seven days have elapsed since the service of the notice. (3) The Rules Committee of the Grand Court may make rules to provide for the circumstances in which an attachment of earnings order may be varied or discharged by the court of its own motion. (4) Where an attachment of earnings order has been made and the person to whom it is directed ceases to have the debtor in that person’s employment, the order shall lapse (except as respects deductions from earnings paid after the cesser of employment and payment to the collecting officer of amounts deducted at any time) and be of no effect unless and until the court again directs it to a person (whether the same as before or another) who appears to the court to have the debtor in that person’s employment. (5) The lapse of an order under subparagraph (4) shall not prevent its being treated as remaining in force for other purposes. Termination of employer’s liability to make deductions (1) Where an attachment of earnings order ceases to have effect under paragraph 6, the collecting officer shall give notice of the cesser of the order to the person to whom the order was directed. (2) Where the whole amount payable under the relevant order has been made, and also any relevant costs, the court shall give notice to the employer that no further compliance with the order is required. (3) Where an attachment of earnings order — (a) ceases to have effect under paragraph 6; or (b) is discharged under paragraph 7, the person to whom the order has been directed shall be under no liability in consequence of the person treating the order as still in force at any time before the expiration of seven days from the date on which the notice required by subparagraph (1) or, as the case may be, a copy of the discharging order is served on the person. Application of sums received by collecting officer The collecting officer to whom a person makes payments in compliance with an attachment of earnings order shall deal with the sums paid as the collecting officer would if they had been paid by the debtor to satisfy the relevant order. Power of court to obtain statement of earnings, etc. 10. (1) Where in any proceedings a court has power to make an attachment of earnings order, it may — (a) order the debtor to give to the court, within a specified period, a statement signed by the debtor of — (i) the name and address of any person by whom earnings are paid to the debtor; (ii) specified particulars as to the debtor’s earnings and anticipated earnings, and as to the debtor’s resources and needs; and (iii) specified particulars for the purpose of enabling the debtor to be identified by any employer of the debtor; and (b) order any person appearing to the court to have the debtor in that person’s employment to give to the court, within a specified period, a statement signed by that person or on that person’s behalf of specified particulars of the debtor’s earnings and anticipated earnings. (2) Where an attachment of earnings order has been made, the court may at any time thereafter while the order is in force — (a) make such an order as is described in subparagraph (1); and (b) order the debtor to attend before it on a day and at a time specified in the order to give the information described in paragraph (a) of subparagraph (3) Without prejudice to subparagraphs (1) and (2), rules of court may provide that where notice of an application for an attachment of earnings order is served on the debtor, it shall include a requirement that the debtor shall give to the court, within such period and in such manner as may be prescribed, a statement in writing of the matters specified in subparagraph (1)(a) and of any other prescribed matters which are, or may be, relevant under paragraph 3 to the determination of the normal deduction rate and the protected earnings rate to be specified in any order made on the application. (4) In any proceedings in which a court has power to make an attachment of earnings order, and in any proceedings for the making, variation or discharge of such an order, a document purporting to be a statement given to the court in compliance with an order under subparagraph (1), or with any such requirement of a notice of application for an attachment of earnings order as is mentioned in subparagraph (3), shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be deemed to be a statement so given and shall be evidence of the facts stated therein. Obligation of debtor and the debtor’s employers to notify changes of employment and earnings 11. (1) While an attachment of earnings order is in force the debtor shall, within seven days of every occasion on which the debtor leaves any employment or becomes employed or re-employed — (a) notify the court in writing of that fact; and (b) give to the court particulars in writing of the debtor’s earnings and anticipated earnings from the relevant employment. (2) While an attachment of earnings order is in force any person who becomes the debtor’s employer and knows that the order is in force shall, within seven days of the person becoming the debtor’s employer or of acquiring that knowledge (whichever is the later), notify the court in writing that that person is the debtor’s employer, and include in that person’s notification a statement of the debtor’s earnings and anticipated earnings. Power of court to determine whether particular payments are earnings 12. (1) Where an attachment of earnings order is in force, the court shall, on the application of a person specified in subparagraph (2), determine whether payments to the debtor of a particular class or description specified by the application are earnings for the purposes of the order; and the employer shall be entitled to give effect to any determination for the time being in force under this paragraph. (2) The persons referred to in subparagraph (1) are — (a) the employer; (b) the debtor; and (c) the person to whom payment under the relevant order is required to be made. (3) Where an application under this paragraph is made by the employer, the employer shall not incur any liability for non-compliance with the order as respects any payments of the class or description specified by the application which are made by the employer to the debtor while the application, or any appeal in consequence of the application, is pending; but this subparagraph shall not, unless the court otherwise orders, apply as respects such payments if the employer subsequently withdraws the application or, as the case may be, abandons the appeal. Persons employed in the service of the Islands 13. (1) The fact that an attachment earnings order is made at the suit of the Attorney General shall not prevent its operation at any time when the debtor is in the service of the Islands. (2) Where a debtor is in the service of the Islands and an attachment of earnings order is made in respect of the debtor, then for the purposes of this Act — (a) the chief officer for the time being of the department, office or other body in which the debtor is employed shall be treated as having the debtor in their employment (any transfer of the debtor from one department, office or body to another being treated as a change of employment); and (b) any earnings paid by the Courts Administrator, or otherwise out of the public revenues of the Islands, shall be treated as paid by that chief officer.
