REMEDY BY MOTION ON CERTAIN BONDS GIVEN OR TAKEN BY OFFICERS; NOTICE (§
8.01-227)

The court in which any bond given or taken by an officer is required to be
returned, filed or recorded, may, on motion of any person protected by such
bond, give judgment in favor of such person for such amount as he would be
entitled by virtue of the bond to recover in an action at law. Any such motion
shall be made after reasonable notice, not less than ten days, to the obligors
on the bond. Service may be in any manner sufficient to support a judgment in
personam.
