As amended through October 28, 2024
Rule 136.01 - Bond

Garnishments or attachments shall not be discharged through a personal bond under Minnesota Statutes, sections 571.931 and 571.932 without 7 days' written notice of the application therefor to the adverse party; but if a surety company's bond is given, notice shall not be required.

Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 136.01

Amended effective 1/1/1993; amended effective 1/1/2020.
Advisory Committee Comment-2019 Amendments

Rule 136.01 is amended as part of the "timing" amendments recommended to the Court in 2018. The committee recommends the change from one to seven days because one day's notice is usually inadequate time to allow the adverse party a meaningful opportunity to evaluate and respond to the request for the posting of a personal bond. The notice period applies only when a garnishee seeks to post a bond that is not issued by an approved surety company.
