If a bank is court ordered to release funds to a plantiff and they do not what course of action can i follow?

the bank will not relase funds stating they do not have the proof that the money they are holding on behalf of an investment company really belongs to the plantiff.

Contact the lawyer that is handling it

Your first step is to have a copy of the court order, the next step is to contact the DA's office in the county the order was placed. The DA will contact the bank and notify them of a new court date and advise them that they are in direct contempt of a court order.

Doesn't matter -- if the court has given a valid order for the bank to release the funds and the bank doesn't comply, the bank is in contempt of court. Get a copy of the court order, then once you find out which judge gave the order contact the court and ask to speak to the judge's clerk. Give the clerk a basic rundown of the case, including docket number, parties involved, etc., and inform the clerk that the bank refuses to comply with the judge's order. Most judges don't take kindly to their orders being refused.

Other than the answer to call the lawyer, the other answers are perfectly fine, assuming your question was really regarding a court ORDER. My guess is that what you really have is a judgment against the bank.

If I'm wrong, apologies to the other folks who answered and to you. If it is an Order, the answer containing the information about being in contempt would be correct.

If it's a civil judgment, then you have to get a new document issued by the court. Depending on what state you're in, this could be called a writ of execution or something else, but what that document will do is allow you to levy (also called "execute on" ) or seize assets in the name of the judgment debtor, i.e., the bank.

If you had a lawyer represent you, you can either go through that attorney or you could get him to substitute out of the case in favor of you. You would then be (depending on your state's terminology) "in pro per" or "pro se." You can then obtain the writ yourself. Again, depending on the state, either a court official (marshal, constable, sheriff) or a private process server that you can find in the yellow pages, would serve the writ and seize the property.

Hope that helps.
