HOW FORTHCOMING BOND TAKEN OF CLAIMANT OF PROPERTY THE SALE WHEREOF HAS BEEN
SUSPENDED (§ 8.01-371)

The sheriff or other officer levying a writ of fieri facias or distress warrant
on property, the sale of which is suspended under this chapter at the instance
of a claimant thereof, may, if such claimant desires the property to remain in
such possession as it was immediately before the levy, and if the case be one in
which a bond for the forthcoming of the property is not prohibited from being
taken from the debtor by § 8.01-531, take from the claimant a bond, with
sufficient surety, in a penalty equal to double the value of the property,
payable to the creditor, with such recital as is required in a forthcoming bond
taken from the debtor, and with condition that the property shall be forthcoming
at such day and place of sale as may be thereafter lawfully appointed. Such
property may then be permitted to remain, at the risk of such claimant, in such
possession as it was immediately before the levy; and §§ 8.01-130.7, 8.01-527,
8.01-528, 8.01-530 and 8.01-531 shall apply to such forthcoming bond in like
manner as to a forthcoming bond taken from the debtor.
