OTHER REPLEVIN OF GOODS
(Cite as: 12 V.S.A. § 5335)
-
§ 5335. Sums recovered by officer, how applied
Sums recovered in an action of replevin by an officer for or on account of goods attached
or taken in execution by him or her, or recovered in an action on the bond given upon
the replevin of such goods, shall be applied so far as they will go:
(1) to pay the fees and charges of the officer and reasonable expenses of the action of
replevin, and the action on the bond, so far as they are not reimbursed by the costs
recovered;
(2) to pay to the creditor, at whose action the goods were attached or taken in execution,
the sum, if any, recovered in that action, or so much thereof as remains unpaid, with
12 percent interest for such time as the money has been withheld from the creditor,
or the service of his or her execution delayed by reason of the replevin;
(3) if the attaching creditor does not recover judgment in his or her action, or if a
balance remains of the monies so recovered by the officer, after so paying what is
due to the creditor, such balance, or the whole amount, shall be disposed of as any
surplus would be if the same goods had been sold on execution.
