When a judgment has been entered directing the defendant to account to the plaintiff, the defendant shall, within thirty (30) days, unless the court shall for cause shown allow a longer time, state the account and file the statement thereof in the office of the Clerk of Judicial Records, and shall at the same time serve a copy of said account upon all adverse parties to whom the defendant has been ordered to account.
Within thirty (30) days after such notification, any adverse party who has received the accounting, if dissatisfied with the statement of account filed by the defendant, shall file exceptions thereto and move for the appointment of an auditor to hear and report upon the questions of fact and law raised by the exceptions.
If the defendant shall for any reason fail to file a statement of account within (30) days or such longer period as the court may fix, the court shall, on motion of an adverse party to whom the defendant has been ordered to account, appoint an auditor to state the account between the parties upon the basis of such evidence as may be submitted to the auditor.
The auditor shall give two weeks notice in writing to the parties on their attorneys of record of the time and place fixed for the hearing on the matter. When the auditor has prepared his report, notice that it is ready for filing shall be given to the parties or their attorneys. Exceptions thereto must be filed with the auditor within ten (10) days after such notice has been received. If exceptions are filed, the auditor shall, with his report as originally prepared, report supplementally on the exceptions. When the auditor's report has been filed, the court, after hearing argument on the exceptions thereto, will enter such order for judgment as the case may require.
