Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

If the award of attorney fees and costs by the trial court was not based on a detailed and itemized affidavit from counsel for the judgment creditor with a breakdown of the hours worked, then the Board may review and limit any claim for attorney fees to those attorney fees directly attributable to that portion of the final judgment that is determined to be a compensable claim by the Board against the Fund, and the Board may require a detailed itemization from counsel before considering such claim for attorney fees. 1994, c. 478 ; 1995, cc. 767 , 816 ; 1998, c. 325 ; 2003, c. 331 ; 2007, c. 826 ; 2015, c. 615 . Va. Code § 46.2-1527.4 - Opportunity to intervene. Any action instituted by a person against a licensed or registered dealer or a salesperson, which may become a claim against the Fund, shall be served to the Board in the manner prescribed by law. All subsequent pleadings and documents shall also be served to the Board. Included in such service shall be an affidavit stating all acts constituting fraud or violations of this chapter. Upon service of process, the Board, or duly authorized representative, shall have the right to request leave of the court to intervene. The person shall submit such pleadings or documents to the Board by certified mail or the equivalent. 1994, c. 478 ; 1995, cc. 767 , 816 .
