§ 3.1-106.16. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Seizure and condemnation

In addition to the provisions of § 3.1-106.17, the Commissioner or his agent may seize any lot of regulated product not in compliance with this chapter. The Commissioner or his agent may make application for seizure to a court of competent jurisdiction in the city or county in which such regulated product is located. In the event that the court finds such regulated product to be in violation of this chapter, and orders the condemnation of such regulated product, the owner of the regulated product shall dispose of the seized regulated product in any manner which, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is consistent with the quality of the regulated product, and which complies with the laws of the Commonwealth. In no instance shall the court order the disposition of such regulated product without first giving the claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for release of such regulated product, or for permission to process or relabel such regulated product, to bring it into compliance with this chapter.
