Terms Used In Missouri Laws 521.870

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • person: may extend and be applied to bodies politic and corporate, and to partnerships and other unincorporated associations. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.

Whenever money made on any execution or executions or other writ or writs is brought into the court out of which the eldest of such executions or other writs was issued, such court shall order the distribution or payment of such money on the motion of any person interested therein and on such notice as the court may, by rule or otherwise, direct. On his compliance with such order, the officer returning such execution or executions or other writ or writs shall be discharged of his liability for such money; but from any such final order an appeal shall lie as in other cases, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to discharge any officer from liability for not properly executing any process or for a false return thereon.
