Rule 69 Execution on Judgments

(a) Requests for Writs of Execution. A money judgment is enforced by a writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise. All requests for issuance of writs of execution and other process for the enforcement of judgments shall be made in writing, by praecipe, to the clerk of the court for the judicial division in which the judgment was entered

(b) Orders for Discovery; Supplementary Proceedings. In aid of the judgment of execution, as provided in 5 V.I.C. §§ 501 and 502, the judgment creditor or his successor in interest — when that interest appears of record — may examine any person, including the judgment debtor in the following manner:

(1) the creditor or successor shall present to a judge a petition verified by the oath of such person or his agent or attorney, stating the amount due on such judgment and stating that the creditor or successor believes that such judgment debtor has assets not exempted by law.

(2) Upon the filing of such petition, the judge shall promptly consider and rule upon the application, and may make an order requiring the judgment debtor to appear at a specified time and place to provide discovery on oath concerning the debtor's assets. The time and place designated shall not be changed, nor shall more than one hearing be held, without further order of the court.

(3) Certified copies of orders for discovery of assets shall be served upon the judgment debtor personally at least 7 days before the day for appearance provided therein.
