Provision
§ 2954Default on proceedings after judgmentProvision

If a trustee defaults after being examined in the original action, the court must enter judgment based on the facts shown for the trustee’s remaining chargeable property or the unpaid balance on the principal defendant’s judgment. If the person paid and delivered the full amount on execution of the original judgment, they are not liable for costs in the post-judgment proceedings.

If a trustee defaulted on proceedings after judgment was examined in the original action, judgment shall be rendered on the facts stated in his disclosure or proved at the trial, for such part of the goods, effects and credits for which he is chargeable as trustee as remain in his hands, if any, or so much thereof as is then due and unsatisfied on the judgment against the principal defendant. If it appears that such person paid and delivered the whole amount thereof on the execution issued on the original judgment, he is not liable for costs on the proceedings after judgment.
