Annotation de l'entreprise
Section 318 addresses recurring claims within Part 4 on the attachment of claims. Where the judgment debtor is entitled to be paid in installments, such as a salary, rent, or other periodic income, a single attachment reaches not only what is due when the order is made but also the installments that become due afterward. This spares the creditor from having to renew the attachment for each period. It builds on the basic attachment mechanism in Section 316 and was renumbered by the Civil Procedure Code Amendment Act (No. 30) B.E. 2560 (2017).
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
This is why a salary attachment keeps biting month after month: one order captures the ongoing stream of installments as they fall due, so the creditor does not file again each payday. For debtors, it means a wage or rental attachment continues until the judgment debt is satisfied or the order is lifted. Getting the scope of a periodic attachment right at the outset saves months of collection effort, a point worth checking with a debt collection lawyer.
Foire aux questions
Does a salary attachment need to be renewed every month?
No. Under Section 318, attaching a claim for periodic payments also captures the installments that fall due later, so a single salary attachment continues without monthly renewal.
What kinds of income does this cover?
Any claim paid in installments, such as salary, rent, or other recurring income the judgment debtor is entitled to receive after the attachment is made.
