§ 9-13-164 — Sale of perishable property - Advertisement; notice; disposition of proceeds

(a) The time and place of holding a sale under Code Section 9-13-163 shall be advertised at the courthouse and at two other public places at least ten days before the day of sale. (b) The judge or judge of the probate court may order a sale of livestock, fruit, or other personal property in a perishable condition, after three days' notice. (c) No judicial officer shall grant any order for the sale of personal property where the defendant in execution or other process or his attorney has not had at least two days' notice of applicant's intention to apply for such order, which notice shall specify the time and place of hearing. In cases of attachment for purchase money falling within this Code section, like notice shall be furnished the plaintiff or his attorney. In no case shall the notice be dispensed with, except where it is made to appear that it is impracticable to have the notice perfected or where the case is an urgent one, in which latter event the court may, in the exercise of a sound discretion, grant the order without notice. (d) The money arising from the sale shall be held by the officer making the same, subject to the order of the court having jurisdiction of the same.
