CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUBSEQUENT EXECUTIONS (§ 8.01-475)

Subject to the limitations prescribed by Chapter 17 (§ 8.01-426 et seq.) of
this title, a party obtaining an execution may sue out other executions at his
own costs, though the return day of a former execution has not arrived; and may
sue out other executions at the defendant’s costs, when on a former
execution there is a return by which it appears that the writ has not been
executed, or that it or any part of the amount thereof is not levied, or that
property levied on has been discharged by legal process which does not prevent a
new execution on the judgment. In no case shall there be more than one
satisfaction for the same money or thing.And the fact that a judgment creditor
may have availed himself of the benefit of any other remedies under this
chapter, shall not prevent him from issuing, from time to time, without
impairing his lien under it, other executions upon his judgment until the same
is satisfied.
