12 V.S.A. § 3154 — Court to decide to whom judgment belongs

The court shall try the action upon such negotiable paper between the assignee and plaintiff in the trustee process, as though the assignee had been cited to appear as claimant in such process. The judgment in such action against the trustee shall not be conclusive of the rights of the assignee and of such plaintiff, but the court shall decide to which of the parties such judgment belongs.
