Property belonging to the insurer of a judgment debtor may not be attached on a writ of execution on a judgment against the insured.
OPINION BY MR. CHIEF JUSTICE BELL, March 17, 1964:
Appellant obtained a judgment against Donnelly and then sought by writ of execution to attach the funds or property of Donnelly's insurance carrier which were in the possession of the garnishee, Girard Trust Corn Exchange Bank. The attached funds were the property, we repeat, of the insurance carrier and no judgment had been obtained by appellant against the carrier. The Court below properly held that under such circumstances the attachment would not lie and dismissed the writ.
Order affirmed.
