2000 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.2-1246 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.2-1246. Appeal from disallowance of claim.
When a claim of any person against a county is disallowed in whole or in part
by the governing body, if such person is present, he may appeal from the
decision of the governing body within thirty days from the date of the
decision. If the claimant is not present, the clerk of the governing body shall
serve a written notice of the disallowance on him or his agent, and he may
appeal to the court from the decision within thirty days after service of such
notice. In no case shall the appeal be taken after the lapse of six months from the date
of the decision. The appeal shall be filed with the circuit court for the
county. No appeal shall be allowed unless the amount disallowed exceeds ten
dollars. The disallowance may be appealed by serving written notice on the
clerk of the governing body and executing a bond to the county, with sufficient
surety to be approved by the clerk of the governing body, with condition for
the faithful prosecution of such appeal, and the payment of all costs imposed
on the appellant by the court.
