SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON ATTACHMENT
(Cite as: 12 V.S.A. § 3403)
-
§ 3403. Perishable property—Notice of sale; appraisers
(a) When an attachment is made of living animals or of perishable goods or chattels which
are liable to waste or liable to deteriorate appreciably in value by keeping or which
cannot be kept without great or disproportionate expense, and the parties do not consent
to the sale thereof, upon written application of either of the parties interested
therein, made to the attaching officer, the property so attached shall be examined,
appraised and sold, or otherwise disposed of and notice thereof given by the officer
to the other parties in such manner as the Supreme Court shall by rule provide for
service of summons.
(b) Such officer shall prepare a schedule of the property and appoint three disinterested
persons acquainted with its value as appraisers to be sworn by him or her. If such
appraisers are satisfied that the defendant in the action has been informed of the
attachment of the property, they shall appraise the same as provided by law. (Amended 1971, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 94, eff. March 29, 1972.)
