Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. If a purchaser refuses to pay the
amount bid by the purchaser for property struck off to the purchaser at a sale
under execution, the officer may again sell the property to the highest bidder,
after again giving the notice hereinbefore provided.
2. If any loss be occasioned from the
purchaser refusing to pay his or her bid, the officer may recover the amount of
such loss, with costs, for the benefit of the party aggrieved, by motion upon
previous notice of 5 days to such purchaser, before any court of competent
jurisdiction.
3. Such court shall proceed in a summary
manner in the hearing and disposition of such motion, and give judgment and
issue execution therefor forthwith, but the refusing purchaser may claim a
jury. And the same proceedings may be had against any subsequent purchaser who
shall refuse to pay, and the officer may, in his or her discretion, thereafter
reject the bid of any person so refusing.
4. Subsections 1, 2 and 3 shall not be
construed to make the officer liable for any more than the amount bid by the
second or subsequent purchaser and the amount collected from the purchaser
refusing to pay.
