Joan Strassman v. Karen Howe

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court's denial of the plaintiff's second motion to charge the garnishee for the full judgment, holding that G.L. 1956 § 10‑17‑15 imposes liability only when a trustee refuses or neglects to render the required account, which the garnishee did not do, and declined to address the statute’s constitutionality because it was unnecessary.
