Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Upon the hearing on the order to show
cause, the court shall consider the showing made by the parties appearing, and
shall make a preliminary determination which party, with reasonable
probability, is entitled to possession, use, and disposition of the property
pending final adjudication of the claims of the parties. If the court
determines that the action is one in which a prejudgment writ of possession
should issue, it shall direct the issuance of such writ.
2. A writ of possession shall not issue
until plaintiff has filed with the court a written undertaking executed by two
or more sufficient sureties, approved by the court, to the effect that they are
bound to the defendant in double the value of the property, as determined by
the court, for the return of the property to the defendant if return thereof is
ordered, and for the payment to the defendant of any sum as may from any cause
be recovered against the plaintiff, except that if there is reasonable cause to
believe that the plaintiff is a secured party, as defined in chapters 104 to 104C ,
inclusive, of NRS, no undertaking shall be required for the issuance of the
writ of possession.
