§ 76.24. Dissolution of attachment.
(1) The defendant by motion may obtain the dissolution of a writ of attachment unless the plaintiff proves the grounds upon which the writ was issued and a reasonable probability that the final judgment in the underlying action will be rendered in the plaintiff’s favor.

On demand of either party a jury summoned from the body of the county shall be impaneled to try the issue.
