Section 419. Officer’s Return  


Latest version.
  • The officer executing the order shall make a return on the order of execution form. The return shall show:

    (1) The date, time and place of any levy.

    (2) His appraisal of the value of any property set aside as exempt property.

    (3) The date, time and place of any sale.

    (4) The proceeds received from any sale, specifying any sale on receipt to the plaintiff.

    (5) His expenses and fees.

    (6) Any distribution made by him.

    (7) If no levy upon property of the defendant could be made, or if the levy was abandoned, the reasons therefor; or that the order was returned unexecuted for nonpayment of expenses and fees.

    Official Note

    Compare Pa. R.C.P. No. 3139. The return required by this rule is quite detailed in view of the fact that executing officers will often be constables.
