PROCEEDINGS NOT TO BE DELAYED BY CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
(§ 25.1-222)

occasioned by the claims of the parties with respect to the ownership of any
land or other property or to the interest therein of the respective parties. In
such cases the court shall require the retention of the deposit of the award for
the whole property, or the part in dispute, until the rights of the respective
parties have been determined in the manner hereinafter provided in § 25.1-241;
provided, however, the court shall permit any such claimants to intervene as
parties to the proceedings as provided in § 25.1-218.
