1997 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 8.01-513 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 8.01-513. Service upon corporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 13.1-637, 13.1-766,
13.1-836 and 13.1-928, If the person upon whom there is a
suggestion of liability as provided in § 8.01-511 is a corporation, the
summons shall be served upon an officer, or managing employee of the
corporation other than an officer of the corporation, unless the judgment
creditor shall file with the court a certificate that he has used due diligence
and that no such officer or managing employee of the corporation other than an
officer or other person authorized to accept such service can be found within
the Commonwealth, in which case such summons shall be served on the
registered agent of the corporation or upon the clerk of the State Corporation
Commission as is otherwise provided by law. Provided, however, that
service on the corporation shall not be made upon a managing employee of such
corporation if such managing employee is also the judgment debtor.
