Terms Used In 5 Guam Code Ann. § 61509

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
The owner of any impounded estray may obtain the release thereof, prior to sale, by producing evidence of ownership and paying all costs for care and keep, notice of sale, and any claim for costs and damages of the private person, if any, who made the seizure. If the owner refuses to pay the claim of any such damaged person, he may obtain the release of an estray by posting a bond in the amount of such claim, but not to exceed the value of the estray as appraised by the Director. Such lien shall remain in effect for one year to satisfy any judgment obtained by the claimant against the owner.
