§ 16.1-85 What term “warrant” to include

Whenever the word “warrant” is used in any section of the Code or act of assembly relating to civil proceedings, it shall, unless the context or use indicates a different meaning, be construed to mean “warrant or motion for judgment.”

History

This law was first created in 1956. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 555 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1956 “Acts” aren’t available online.

1956, c. 555.
