  1. KRS Chapter 426

If, upon the trial of the motion provided for in KRS 426.260, it appears that the defendant

had no title to the land sold under execution, the court may set the sale aside, quash the

return of the officer, and award execution for the debt as if no sale had been made. If the

land sold had been given up by the defendant to the officer for levy and sale and the sale

is set aside, the court shall render judgment against the defendant for ten percent damages

upon the amount of the execution, including interest and cost.
