Article 237 of Code of Civil Procedure

English translation

If the garnishee fails to declare what he owes in the manner prescribed by law, submits an insufficient declaration, makes an untruthful declaration, or conceals the papers that he must deposit in support of the declaration, judgment may be entered against him in favour of the creditor who has obtained an enforcement instrument for his debt, for the amount for which the attachment was imposed, by an action brought in accordance with the ordinary procedures. Enforcement of the judgment imposing this sanction shall constitute satisfaction of the attaching creditor's right against the attachment debtor. Judgment imposing the aforementioned sanction shall not be issued if the garnishee remedies the defect for which the action was brought before the close of pleadings therein, even before the court of second instance. In all cases, the garnishee must be ordered to pay the costs of the action and compensation arising from his default or delay.
Arabic original
إذا لم يقرر المحجوز لديه بما في ذمته على الوجه المقرر قانونا او قدم تقريرا غير كاف او قرر غير الحقيقة، او اخفى الاوراق الواجب عليه ايداعها لتأييد التقرير جاز الحكم عليه للدائن الذي حصل على سند تنفيذي بدينه بالمبلغ المحجوز من اجله وذلك بدعوى ترفع بالاجراءات المعتادة. ويعتبر تنفيذ الحكم الصادر بهذا الجزاء وفاء لحق الحاجز قبل المحجوز عليه. ولا يصدر الحكم بالجزاء المذكور إذا تلافي المحجوز لديه العيب الذي رفعت بسببه الدعوى حتى اقفال باب المرافعة فيها ولو امام محكمة ثاني درجة . ويجب في جميع الأحوال إلزام المحجوز لديه بمصروفات الدعوى والتعويضات المترتبة على تقصيره او تأخيره.
