1. The garnishee summons and notice to defendant shall be served upon the garnishee
in the same manner as other summons in that court of record except that service must
be personal.
2. Service of a garnishee summons and disclosure statement upon a bank or credit union
must be made by delivery of the summons and disclosure statement to a specifically
named president or vice president of the bank or credit union or to the registered agent
for service of process of the bank or credit union. Delivery of the summons and
disclosure statement to the specifically named individual may be in hand as
established by the sworn affidavit of the individual who delivered the summons and
disclosure statement or by any form of mail or third-party commercial delivery service,
if delivery is restricted to the named individual or registered agent and the sender
receives a receipt signed by that individual or registered agent.
3. A plaintiff shall serve with the garnishee summons a disclosure form, substantially as
set out in this chapter. The plaintiff may also serve interrogatories with the garnishee
summons. A copy of the garnishee summons and copies of all other papers served on
the garnishee must be served personally upon the defendant in accordance with the
North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure for personal service or served by first-class mail
not later than ten days after service is made upon the garnishee. A single garnishee
summons may be addressed to two or more garnishees but must state whether each
is summoned separately or jointly.
