Key legal question
Whether an attachment creditor may require suspension of enforcement proceedings against the attached claim until the attachment litigation is concluded.
Extracted holding
No. The law does not confer on the attachment creditor a right to have the enforcement stayed, and such a right does not follow from the nature of the attachment order. Any protected interest arises only at the stage of distribution of proceeds.
Extracted reasoning
Attachment restricts the debtor's disposal power over the asset, but it does not bar the debtor from having the attached claim enforced through debt enforcement. The appellant's status as attachment creditor does not justify stopping the respondent's enforcement; his concern over a possible shortfall in sale proceeds is unrelated to that status.
