Turnbull- Wheatley et al. vs Turnbull
Case Caption: Turnbull- Wheatley et al. vs TurnbullCase Number: SCT-CIV-2019-0091Date: 12/29/2023Author: Cabret, Maria M. Citation: 2023 VI 17Summary: An order of the Superior Court denying a post-judgment motion contesting the Virgin Islands Marshal’s execution on a truck is reversed. Because the Marshal’s seizure of the truck exceeded the terms of the July 15, 2019 judgment, and the writ did not authorize its seizure, the execution was invalid under 5 V.I. Code § 473(1). Consequently, the Superior Court erred by denying the pending motion requesting the release of this truck. Denial of the motion is reversed and this case is remanded to the Superior Court with directions to enter an order requiring the Marshal to release the truck.Attachment:
