Section 35-11-21 - Enforcement.

For the enforcement of such lien, the owners of such land or their assignees, may have process of attachment from any court having jurisdiction of the amount claimed leviable upon the timber upon which the lien exists:

(1) When such claim is due and the defendant, on demand, fails or refuses to pay the same.

(2) Whether such claim is due or not, when the defendant has removed any part of such timber from such land without paying the stipulated price, or the value thereof, when no price has been stipulated, and without the consent of the owners of such lands, or, if the claim has been assigned, without the consent of the assignee.

(3) Whether such claim is due or not, when the plaintiff has good cause to believe that the defendant is about to remove any part of such timber from such land without paying the stipulated price thereof, or, in the event no price has been stipulated, the value thereof, and without the consent of the owners of such lands, or, if the claim has been assigned, without the consent of the assignee.
