Execution upon real property
Cap. 97, s. 53 · Revised Edition 2020
(1) If no personal property of the execution-debtor, with reasonable diligence, is found, or if that property is insufficient to satisfy the judgment, and the execution-debtor is the owner of a land, the execution- creditor may apply, by petition, to a judge of the Supreme Court for an order for the sale of that land in accordance with the provisions of Order 46 of the Supreme Court Rules, published Subsidiary Legislation, 1991 edition, Volume III, Chapter 82 at page 29.
(2) If the judge is satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the execution- debtor has no personal property wherewith to satisfy the judgment but is the owner of land, he may make an order directing that the said land be sold and thereupon all the provisions of Order 46 relating to execution and sale of the land of an execution-debtor shall apply and have effect as if the execution had originally issued out of the Supreme Court.
(3) Title to any land so sold shall be granted by the Supreme Court to the purchaser in like manner as title is for the time being granted in respect of other execution sales.
