§53-1-12. Distribution of levy under mandamus to satisfy judgment against a political subdivision.

Wherever a writ of mandamus, issued to enforce the laying of a levy to satisfy a judgment against a political subdivision of the state, would produce a disturbance in the administration of the financial affairs of the political subdivision not necessary to the protection and enforcement of the right of the creditor, the court may order that the levy be distributed equally over a period of years not to exceed ten, and shall allow the creditor interest, not in excess of the legal rate, upon the installments.
