Exception to sureties
Official statutory text
The plaintiff may, within twenty-four (24) hours from the time
the undertaking referred to in Section 1577 of this title is given
by the defendant, give notice as hereinafter required that he
excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. In the event plaintiff
excepts to the sufficiency of the defendant's sureties, said
plaintiff will file written exceptions and notice in the district
court in the case involved, and the court shall set a day for
hearing said exceptions, provided, however, after notice of
plaintiff's exceptions have been given to the defendant, he shall
have five (5) days within which to except to the sufficiency of
plaintiff's sureties on the undertaking required of the plaintiff by
Section 1573 above, and if a hearing is held on the exception by
either party, the bonds of both shall be subject to scrutiny and a
decision made upon each by the district court at the same hearing.
If plaintiff or defendant fails to except, he shall be deemed to
have waived all objections to the sufficiency of the sureties
involved. If either party excepts, the sureties must justify, upon
notice, as bail in criminal cases.
