084416316Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 8.01-452 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 8.01-452. Entry of assignment of judgment on judgment lien docket.
Whenever there shall be an assignment of a judgment, there may shall be a notation of the assignment made upon the judgment
docket, where the same is recorded, by the clerk. An assignment, in order to be
so noted, must be in writing, showing the date thereof, the name of the
assignor and assignee, the amount of the judgment, and when and by what court
granted, and either acknowledged as are deeds for recordation in the clerks'
offices of circuit courts in this Commonwealth, or signed by the assignor, attested
by two witnesses; or such judgment may be assigned by notation on the margin of
the judgment lien docket on the page of the book where same is docketed, by the
judgment creditor or his attorney of record, and attested by the clerk. The
assignment, after the same is noted upon the judgment docket as is herein
provided, shall be filed by the clerk with the other papers in the case in his
office. When such assignment is made and noted as herein provided further
executions shall be issued in the name of the assignee as the plaintiff in the
case.
Any judgment that has been assigned, but for which an assignment has not been noted upon the judgment docket, shall be considered to have been satisfied by the judgment debtor, and he may apply to the court in which the judgment was rendered to have the same marked satisfied pursuant to § 8.01-455.
