Approved March 17, 1928
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
sixty-four hundred and thirty-nine of the Code of Virginia be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 6429. No person shall be entitled to the lien given by the
preceding section unless he shall, within ninety days after the last item
of his bill becomes due and payable for which such supplies are
furnished or service rendered, file in the clerk’s office of the circuit
court of the county or corporation court of the city in which is located
the chief office in this State of the company against which the claim
is, or in the clerk’s office of the chancery court of the city of Rich-
mond when such office is in said city, or within that time shall file with
the receiver, trustee or assignee of such company, a memorandum of
the amount and consideration of his claim, and the time or times
when the same is, or will become due and payable, verified by affidavit,
which memorandum, if filed with the clerk or in his office, the said
clerk shall forthwith record in the miscellaneous lien book and index
the same in the name of the said claimant and also in the name of the
company against which the claim is, as required by section sixty-four
hundred and twenty-seven. Any such lien may be enforced in a court
of equity.
This section as amended shall apply to all such claims heretofore
filed with any such receiver, trustee or assignee, as well as to subsequent
claims, and be just as valid as if they had been filed in the proper
clerk’s office when such company was solvent.
2. An emergency existing on account of pending claims, this law
shall be in force from its passage.
