   4110-a.   Competency   of   inhabitants  as  justices  or  jurors;
  undertakings not required of village. In an action brought by or against
  a village it shall not be an objection  against  the  person  acting  as
  justice  or juror in such action that he is a resident of the village or
  subject to taxation therein.  It shall not be necessary for the  village
  to  give  a  bond,  undertaking  or  security  to  appeal or to obtain a
  provisional remedy, or to take or prevent any other proceeding; or to do
  or perform any act or thing notwithstanding any provision of  any  other
  law  to the contrary, but the village shall be liable to the same extent
  as if it had given the bond, undertaking or security otherwise  required
  by or in pursuance of law.
