The applications for garnishee orders were refused because the supporting affidavit and the debtor's evidence were insufficiently clear to establish that the solicitors held moneys owing to the judgment debtor; there was a real risk that funds might belong to third parties or be subject to trusts, and, given the time constraints and potential prejudice to pending litigation, it was an improper exercise of discretion to freeze those funds.
