California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 6.5 — Attachment, Chapter 10 — Liability for Wrongful Attachment, Section 490.040
The amount of any recovery for wrongful attachment shall be offset insofar as possible against any unsatisfied amounts owed to the plaintiff by the defendant on the judgment in the action for which wrongful attachment damages are awarded.
Notes
Requires any recovery awarded for wrongful attachment to be offset, to the extent possible, against unsatisfied amounts that the defendant owes the plaintiff on the judgment in the action where wrongful-attachment damages were awarded. The setoff therefore reduces the wrongful-attachment recovery by qualifying unpaid judgment amounts owed to that plaintiff.
