RULE NO. 11
SUPPLEMENTAL PROCEEDINGS
A. A judgment creditor may request, in accordance with RCW 6.32, a
supplemental proceeding or interrogatories to be served on a judgment
debtor. The return date shall be scheduled for the civil motion calendar.
B. If a judgment debtor fails to appear at a supplemental proceeding
when scheduled, and the judgment creditor provides the court with proof of
service, the judgment creditor may request an order for civil bench warrant
by utilizing the Uniform Court Form Affidavit, Order and Bench Warrant and
by completing the pre-warrant vital statistic information form. The court
will issue a warrant calling for cash bail for the amount of the judgment,
provided, however, if the amount of the outstanding judgment is greater
than $250, the cash bail shall be $250. For a bench warrant issued by the
court, the court shall require a $50 warrant fee, deducted from the cash
bail. If the judgment creditor continues a supplemental proceeding to a
subsequent date, at which the judgment debtor does not appear, a bench
warrant will be issued only upon proof that the judgment debtor had actual
knowledge of the subsequent hearing.
