Within how many days must the order of attachment and papers upon which it is based be filed after the order is granted?

• A. 5 days
• B. 10 days
• C. 15 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (B)

In New York, after a court grants an order of attachment, the order itself and the papers that support it must be filed with the clerk within ten days. This short filing window keeps the provisional remedy moving promptly, records the basis for the attachment, and enables the sheriff to administer the attachment if needed while the case proceeds. Five days would be too quick for assembling and submitting the supporting papers, while fifteen or thirty days would delay securing the assets in dispute. Thus the ten-day deadline best fits the purpose of a provisional remedy by balancing speed with the need for proper documentation.
