illegally, the judgment debtor may obtain a stay by making and delivering an

affidavit to the officer having the execution, stating the illegality and whether

any part of the execution is due, with a bond with surety payable to the

judgment creditor. . . . [I]f [the execution] is adjudged legal in whole or in part,

the court shall enter judgment against the principal and surety on such bond

for the amount of so much of the execution as is adjudged to be legal and

execution shall issue thereon.”) (emphasis added); § 56.16, Fla. Stat. (“If any

person . . . other than the judgment debtor claims any property levied on, he

or she may obtain possession of the property by filing with the officer having

the execution an affidavit by the claimant . . . that the property claimed

belongs to the claimant and by furnishing the officer a bond . . . conditioned

to deliver said property on demand of said officer if it is adjudged to be the

property of the judgment debtor and to pay the judgment creditor all damages

found against the claimant if it appears that the claim was interposed for the

purpose of delay.”) (emphasis added).
