717. If the garnishee is in default for failure to declare, withhold or deposit a sum of money or makes a declaration that proves to be false, the garnishee may be ordered to pay the sum owing to the seizing creditor as if the garnishee were the debtor.

The garnishee may, however, obtain the authorization to declare or deposit at any time, even after judgment, on payment of the sums the garnishee should have withheld and deposited since notification of the notice of execution. In such a case, the garnishee is required to pay all costs resulting from the default.
