§ 14-121-428 — Trial date - Suit by bondholder

(a) The suit shall stand for trial at the first term of court after the complaint may be filed, if four (4) weeks shall expire either before the first day of the term, or during the term of court to which the suits are brought respectively, unless a continuance is granted for good cause shown, within the discretion of the court. The continuance, for good cause shown, may be granted as to a part of the lands or defendants without affecting the duty of the court to dispose finally of the others as to whom no continuance may be granted. (b) In case the commissioners shall fail to commence suit within sixty (60) days after the taxes become delinquent, the holder of any bond issued by the district shall have right to bring suit for the collection of the delinquent assessments, and the proceedings in the suit brought by the bondholder shall in all respects be governed by the provisions applicable to suits by the commissioners.
