Enforcement of judgments against the Crown
11 Enforcement of judgments against the Crown
A writ, warrant or similar process is not to be issued out of a court to enforce a judgment against the State Crown or the Crown in right of any other State.
If a final judgment is given against the State Crown or the Crown in right of any other State, the court is to transmit a copy of the judgment to the Attorney-General of the relevant State.
If the Attorney-General of this State receives a final judgment from a court of this or any other State, the Attorney-General is to give directions as to the manner in which the judgment is to be satisfied.
A Minister, agency or instrumentality of the State Crown to which a direction is given under subsection (3) is authorized and required to carry out the direction.
A direction under this section is sufficient authority for the appropriation of money from the Public Account or from funds of the relevant agency or instrumentality of the Crown.
