Rule 5 Judgments.
Rule Text
(a) Generally. At the end of the trial, the court may immediately state its decision and direct the entry of judgment. Findings must be made, but no written findings shall be required.
(b) Interest and Costs. In accordance with section 112 of Title 4 of the Virgin Islands Code, a judgment may include an award of interest and costs, even if such an award would grant a party a recovery greater than the jurisdictional limits of the Small Claims Division.
(c) Installment Judgments. When a judgment is ordered to be paid in installments, the clerk shall furnish the judgment defendant with a memorandum of the dates on which and the amounts in which such payments are to be made, with a warning that the stay of execution will be vacated upon any default without just excuse. Upon a showing by the judgment plaintiff that the defendant has failed to comply with such order, the judgment plaintiff shall have the right to exercise all remedies otherwise available in the Superior Court for the enforcement of such judgment.
(d) Enforcement. A judgment entered in the Small Claims Division may be enforced in accordance with Rule 69 of the Virgin Islands Rules of Civil Procedure.
