As amended through October 11, 2024
Rule 17 - Supplementary Proceedings in Wage Claims

In all cases where the judgment is based, in whole or in part, on a claim for wages or personal services, the court must, on written or oral motion of the party obtaining judgment, order the appearance of the party against whom the judgment has been entered for oral examination under oath as to his or her financial status and his or her ability to pay the judgment. The order must not require the party against whom the judgment was entered to appear more often than once every 4 weeks. The court must make supplementary orders as are just and proper to effectuate the payment of the judgment on reasonable terms.

COMMENT TO 2018 AMENDMENTS

Formerly Rule 18, this rule has been renumbered as Rule 17. This rule has also been amended consistent with the stylistic changes to the civil rules, and the proviso in the last sentence was removed to track D.C. Code § 16-3908 (2012 Repl.).
