Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 12-1182

Trial and dismissal - Unmatured or unliquidated debts.

The proceedings against a garnishee shall be deemed an action by

the judgment creditor against garnishee and defendant, as parties

defendant, and all of the provisions for enforcing judgment shall be

applicable thereto. No trial shall be had of the garnishee action

until the judgment creditor shall have judgment in the principal

action, and if the defendant have judgment, the garnishee action

shall be dismissed with costs, unless the judgment creditor shall

perfect an appeal according to law, in which event the garnishment

proceeding shall be continued until the disposition of the appeal,

and it shall not be necessary to appeal the garnishment proceedings,

or make the garnishee a party to the appeal. The court shall render

such judgment in all cases as shall be just to all of the parties

and shall properly protect their respective interests, and may

adjudge the recovery of any indebtedness, the conveyance, transfer,

or delivery to the sheriff, or any officer appointed by the

judgment, of any property disclosed or found to be liable to be

applied to the judgment creditor's demand, or by the judgment pass

the title thereto; and may therein, or by its order when proper,

direct the manner of making sale and of disposing of the proceeds

thereof, or of any money or other things paid over or delivered to

the clerk or officer. The judgment against a garnishee shall acquit

and discharge from all demands by the defendant or the defendant's

representatives for all moneys, goods, effects, or credits paid,

delivered or accounted for by the garnishee by force of such

judgment; provided, it shall be no defense to proceedings against a

garnishee that the debt owing by the garnishee to the defendant was

unliquidated or was not due.
