Full Text of § 8.01-618.1
Plain-English Summary
Preparing the detailed accounting statements § 8.01-617 requires takes work, and this section makes sure that work does not go uncompensated. Special receivers and commissioners may charge, for the reports made under § 8.01-617, the same fees the law allows commissioners in chancery to charge for other reports.
Those fees come out of the fund already in the court's control, and where the fund touches more than one case, the fee gets charged to the respective cases in whatever proportions the court deems appropriate — spreading the cost of the accounting across the matters that benefited from it.
