						<section><p>Subject to the limitations prescribed by Chapter 17 (&#xA7;&#xA0;<a class="law" title="&quot;Judgment&quot; includes decree" href="/8.01-426/">8.01-426</a> et seq.) of this title, a <span class="dictionary">party</span> obtaining an execution may sue out other executions at his own costs, though the return day of a former execution has not arrived; and may sue out other executions at the <span class="dictionary">defendant</span>&#x2019;s costs, when on a former execution there is a return by which it appears that the <span class="dictionary">writ</span> has not been executed, or that it or any part of the amount thereof is not levied, or that property levied on has been discharged by legal process which does not prevent a new execution on the judgment. In no case shall there be more than one satisfaction for the same money or thing.
		And the <span class="dictionary">fact</span> that a <span class="dictionary">judgment creditor</span> may have availed himself of the benefit of any other remedies under this chapter, shall not prevent him from issuing, from time to time, without impairing his <span class="dictionary">lien</span> under it, other executions upon his judgment until the same is satisfied.</p></section></text><history>Code 1950, &#xA7; 8-407; 1977, c. 617.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
