Practice Direction No.2 of 1995

Sale of goods seized under writ of distress

Whenever application is made under Order 26 rule 7(3)(a) for a direction that any property seized should be sold in some manner other than by public auction, all necessary steps and the cost of such steps will be the responsibility of the applicant unless the Court orders otherwise.

Application may be made to the Court for reimbursement out of the proceeds of sale of costs properly incurred.

Whenever an alternative procedure is ordered by the Court, it will be the responsibility of the applicant to inform the bailiff of all steps in advance. The property seized will remain in the custody of the bailiff pending disposal and will only be released on order of the Court.

(CHIEF JUSTICE)
