34-08-09. Judgment may be entered on undertaking - Notice required
The undertaking mentioned in section 34-08-08 constitutes an agreement entered into by
the complainant and the complainant's surety upon which a judgment may be rendered against
the complainant and the complainant's surety in the same proceeding in which such undertaking
is filed, and such complainant and surety, by filing the undertaking, submit themselves to the
jurisdiction of the court for such purpose. Such judgment shall be rendered only after a hearing
to assess damages, and the complainant and the complainant's surety must have reasonable
notice of such hearing. Nothing contained in this section precludes any party having a claim for
relief upon such undertaking from pursuing the party's ordinary remedy by suit at law.
