ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

9-13-7. Amendment of execution - To correct mistake in issuance; alias execution.

  1. When the clerk of any court has made any mistake in issuing an execution, the clerk or any of his successors in office may correct the mistake by amending the execution and shall note and certify on the execution the fact that the amendment was made by him.
  2. Alternatively, the clerk may issue an alias execution to be signed and dated by him at the time it is issued instead of the execution in which the mistake was made. The clerk shall note the fact of the issuing of the alias on the original, which original shall remain on file in his office, and shall likewise make a memorandum thereof on the execution docket; he shall also transcribe upon the alias all the entries and credits from the original. No order of court shall be necessary in the cases contemplated by this Code section.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS
