                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PROCEEDINGS BY INTERROGATORIES (§ 16.1-103)

Whenever a fieri facias has been issued upon a judgment rendered in a general
district court the judge or clerk of the court may issue the summons provided
for in § 8.01-506. In such case the judge of the general district court shall
have all of the powers and authority respecting interrogatories conferred by
§§ 8.01-506 to 8.01-510 upon any court or judge mentioned therein. The
commissioner before whom any person is required to appear by such summons shall
have the same powers and authority as if such summons had been issued under §
8.01-506. All interrogatories, answers, reports and other proceedings under such
summons, and also all money, evidences of indebtedness and other security in the
hands of an officer which are directed by any section of Chapter 18 (§ 8.01-466
et seq.) of Title 8.01 to be returned or delivered to such court or judge, or to
the clerk&#8217;s office of such court, shall, when the summons was issued by a
judge of a general district court be returned or delivered in like manner to the
court from which the summons issued.
		From any order of the judge of the general district court which involves the
disposition of any money or property exceeding the sum of fifty dollars in
value, exclusive of interest, there shall be an appeal in the same manner and
upon the same conditions as in appeals from judgments rendered in civil matters
in general district courts.
