§59-2-3. New bond.
Official statutory text
On motion of an obligor in such bond, after reasonable notice to the plaintiff, his attorney or agent, the court may order a new bond to be given, with sufficient security, conforming to all the requirements of the preceding section, in a penalty equal to the penalty of the former bond. If the bond required under this section be not given within such time as the court may prescribe, it may order the suit to be dismissed. If such new bond be given, the surety in the former one shall be relieved from any liability he might have incurred because of having executed or acknowledged the same. After the notice has been given to the plaintiff, his attorney or agent, no further proceedings shall be had in such cause, until such new bond is given with sufficient security, or a sufficient excuse is given for not executing the same.
