HOW CAUSE HEARD UPON RULE AND JUDGMENT RENDERED (§ 8.01-106)

Upon the return of a rule executed under § 8.01-105 upon any of the parties
thereto, the court may if neither party demand a jury, proceed to hear and
determine all questions raised by such rule, and shall enter a judgment against
such special commissioner, receiver, or purchaser, as the case may be, and his
surety or sureties, for the amount appearing to be due by such commissioner,
receiver or purchaser, or may enter judgment against such of them as have been
summoned to answer such rule. If it appears in such proceeding that such
commissioner, receiver, purchaser, or any of them, or their sureties is dead, or
under a disability, then such rule shall be awarded against the personal
representative of those dead, and the fiduciary of those who are under a
disability, and judgment may be rendered jointly and severally against such
personal representative, fiduciary and those laboring under no disability in the
same proceeding.
