Absolutely.
It is one of the primary actions that can be taken if an unresponsive debtor is considered a threat to leave the jurisdiction or try to move assets to avoid their loss. Failure to appear at the hearing of a civil suit automatically results in a default judgment being awarded to the plaintiff. The judgment can then be used to levy the bank account of the debtor. An account can be "frozen" by the court before the hearing or a judgment is rendered to prevent any monies from being removed or transferred.
