Section 221. Compelling delivery of possession of real property  


Latest version.
  • Where a
      judgment affecting the title to, or the possession, enjoyment or use of,
      real property allots to any person a distinct parcel of  real  property,
      or  contains a direction for the sale of real property, or confirms such
      an allotment or sale, it also may direct the delivery of the  possession
      of  the  property  to  the  person  entitled thereto. If a party, or his
      representative or successor, who is bound  by  the  judgment,  withholds
      possession  from  the  person  thus declared to be entitled thereto, the
      court, by order, in its discretion, besides punishing  the  disobedience
      as  a  contempt,  may  require  the  sheriff  to  put  that  person into
      possession.  Such an order shall be executed as if it were an  execution
      for the delivery of the possession of the property.
