Vermont Statutes Title 12. Court Procedure, § 5335. Sums recovered by officer, how applied

(1) to pay the fees and charges of the officer and reasonable expenses of the action of replevin, and the action on the bond, so far as they are not reimbursed by the costs recovered;

(2) to pay to the creditor, at whose action the goods were attached or taken in execution, the sum, if any, recovered in that action, or so much thereof as remains unpaid, with 12 percent interest for such time as the money has been withheld from the creditor, or the service of his or her execution delayed by reason of the replevin;

(3) if the attaching creditor does not recover judgment in his or her action, or if a balance remains of the monies so recovered by the officer, after so paying what is due to the creditor, such balance, or the whole amount, shall be disposed of as any surplus would be if the same goods had been sold on execution.
