The garnishee shall pay monthly the deductions for which the seizure is made within the limits of the sums available.
If he fails to do so, the court, even of its own motion, shall declare him liable for the deductions that should have been made. In order to determine the amount of these deductions, the judge may contact the tax and social security bodies under the conditions set out in articles L. 152-1 and L. 152-2 of the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures to obtain information relating to the amount of remuneration received by the debtor and the composition of his family.
The garnishee’s recourse against the debtor may only be exercised after the seizure has been released.
