BAIL AND RECOGNIZANCES
(Cite as: 12 V.S.A. § 3473)
-
§ 3473. Insufficiency of recognizance or bail; order for new bail
When it appears that the security or recognizance for the prosecution of a pending
cause or an appeal or the bail taken by the officer on the writ, is insufficient to
secure the party for whose benefit the same was taken, the court, or the clerk in
vacation, in his or her discretion, may order sufficient bail to be entered by a certain
time, or that judgment be rendered against the party neglecting to comply with such
order. Within the time provided, the party so required to furnish bail shall file
with the clerk of the court a bond with sufficient surety in the amount required,
to be approved by the clerk, or shall with sufficient surety, so approved, enter into
a personal recognizance before the clerk in such amount. Such recognizance shall
be entered by the clerk upon the docket of the cause.
