                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ENTRY OF DECISION IN LOWER COURT; ISSUE OF EXECUTION THEREON (§ 8.01-685)

The court or other tribunal from which any case may have come to an appellate
court shall enter the decision of the appellate court as its own, and execution
or other appropriate process may issue thereon accordingly. When that decision
is received by the clerk or secretary of the court or tribunal below, he shall
enter it of record in his order book, and thereupon such execution may issue and
such proceedings be had in the case as would have been proper if the decision
had been entered in court or by such tribunal.
		If the judgment of the lower court or tribunal is affirmed, in whole or in
part, by the decision of an appellate court, execution or other appropriate
process may issue thereon against the principal and surety on any appeal bond
which may have been given, for the amount of such judgment, including the
interest and cost and the damages awarded by the appellate court, not exceeding,
however, the penalty of such bond.
