If the sheriff receives notice of a challenge to the garnishment pursuant to ORS 18.702 after a request for sale of property has been submitted by the garnishor under ORS 18.755, the sheriff shall not take possession of or sell any property that is subject to the challenge. If the sheriff has taken property into possession before receiving the notice provided for in ORS 18.702, the sheriff shall hold the property pending the court’s determination on the challenge. Upon receiving notice of the court’s determination under ORS 18.712, the sheriff shall proceed as directed by the court. [2001 c.249 §49]
