This and other Florida courts apparently impose a duty on a garnishee-maker of a check that was issued in discharge of an obligation to a judgment debtor to stop payment on the check when served with a writ of garnishment. This obligation arises out of an interpretation of the "possession and control" language in section 77.01, Florida Statutes.
The better policy, in my judgment, absent fraud, is that followed in those states holding that, upon service of a writ of garnishment, a non-bank garnishee does not have a duty to stop payment on checks that have been issued and delivered to discharge a debt. See Russ Togs, Inc. v. Gordon, 127 Ga.App. 520, 194 S.E.2d 280 (1972); Hart v. O.L. Williams Veneer Co., 287 Ill.App. 89, 4 N.E.2d 499 (1936); Frickleton v. Fulton, 626 S.W.2d 402 (Mo. Ct.App.1981); Prewitt v. Brown, 101 Mo. App. 254, 73 S.W. 897 (1903); Central Sec. & Alarm Co. v. Mehler, 125 N.M. 438, 963 P.2d 515 (Ct.App.1998); Parnell-Martin Supply Co. v. High Point Motor Lodge, Inc., 277 N.C. 312, 177 S.E.2d 392 (1970); Pearson Grain Co. v. Plains Trucking Co., 494 S.W.2d 639 (Tex.Civ.App.1973); Brandfass v. Kohn, 113 W.Va. 442, 168 S.E. 476 (1933).
