Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-6-146

  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

If the plaintiff does not obtain judgment against the defendant in attachment, all property condemned, when a claim for the trial of the right of property has been interposed, must be restored to the claimant at the cost of the plaintiff.
