Introduced by: John A. Cosgrove | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

General district courts; jurisdictional amounts; exception. Provides an exception to the $15,000 jurisdictional limit in general district courts for cases involving liquidated damages for violation of vehicle weight limits. In 2001 the General Assembly amended § 46.2-1135 (which refers to general district courts) to increase liquidated damages, which means that cases will more frequently exceed $15,000. This bill is identical to SB 474.
