is an ancillary remedy. It is not
sought for its own sake but rather to enable the attaching party to realize
upon relief sought and expected to be granted in the main or principal action. Being an ancillary or auxiliary remedy,
it is available during the pendency of the action which may be resorted to by a
litigant to preserve and protect certain rights and interests therein pending
rendition, and for purposes of the ultimate effects, of a final judgment in the
case. They are provisional because they constitute temporary measures availed
of during the pendency of the action and they are ancillary because they are
mere incidents in and are dependent upon the result of the main action.
A writ of preliminary attachment is a species of
provisional remedy. As such, it is a collateral proceeding, permitted only in
connection with a regular action, and as one of its incidents; one of which is
provided for present need, or for the occasion; that is, one adapted to meet a
particular exigency.
