In an action for the foreclosure of a lien on personal property, judgment in favor of the plaintiff must specify the amount due on the lien and must direct a sale of the property to satisfy the same and the costs, by a person appointed thereby, or by an officer designated therein, in the manner provided for the sale of personal property under execution, and the application by the person or officer of the proceeds of the sale, less the person’s or officer’s fees and expenses, to the payment of the judgment and costs. It also may provide for the payment of the surplus to the owner of the chattel and for the safekeeping of the surplus, if necessary, until it is claimed by the owner. If the defendant upon whom the summons is served personally is liable for the amount of the lien, or for any part thereof, judgment may be entered against the defendant accordingly. A judgment for either the defendant or plaintiff must specify any amounts awarded pursuant to section 32-20-04.2.
