Section 475. Procedure as to defaults  


Latest version.
  • If the surety contests the default
      the court shall hear and determine the issue.  In  the  event  that  the
      court  finds  that  a  default has been suffered, it shall make an order
      specifying the amount in default and forfeiting the undertaking or  cash
      deposit  to  the  extent of such default. A certified copy of such order
      shall be filed in the county clerk's office with a certified copy of the
      undertaking and thereupon the said clerk shall docket the  same  in  the
      book  kept  by  the clerk for the docketing of judgments, as if the same
      was a transcript of a judgment directed for the amount of  such  sum  in
      default. The certified copy of the undertaking and of the order shall be
      the  judgment  record.  Such judgment shall be a lien on all of the real
      estate and collectible out of the real  and  personal  property  of  the
      surety.  An execution may be issued to collect the amount thereof in the
      same manner as upon a judgment recovered in any court of record.
