WHO MAY SUE OUT ATTACHMENT (§ 8.01-533)

If any person has a claim, legal or equitable, to (i) any specific personal
property, (ii) any debt, including rent, whether the debt is due and payable or
not, (iii) damages for breach of any contract, express or implied, or (iv)
damages for a wrong, or for a judgment for which no supersedeas or other appeal
bond has been posted, he may sue out an attachment therefor on any one or more
of the grounds stated in § 8.01-534. However, if the claim is for a debt not
due and payable, no attachment shall be sued out when the only ground for the
attachment is that the defendant or one of the defendants is a foreign
corporation, or is not a resident of this Commonwealth, and has estate or debts
owing to him within this Commonwealth.
