CHAP. 11.—An ACT providing for remedy by motion after thirty days’
notice for any tort; when notice to be returned to clerk’s office; provis-
ion to prevent discontinuance of the motion.

Approved January 30, 1912.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
any person having a right of action at law for any tort may, on
motion before any court which would have jurisdiction in an
action otherwise than under section thirty-two hundred and
fifteen, obtain judgment for such tort, after thirty days’ notice,
which notice shall be returned to the clerk’s office of such court,
within five days after the service of the same, and after such
thirty days’ notice, the motion shall be docketed. A motion under
this section which is docketed under section thirty-three hundred
and seventy-eight shall not be discontinued by reason of no
order of continuance being entered upon it from one day to
another, or from term to term. And upon such motion the same
rules shall apply with reference to bills of particulars and
grounds of defense as are now provided by law in other actions
or motions.
