Renewal of writ
901 Renewal of writ
An unexecuted writ of execution remains in force for one year from its issue.
Notwithstanding subrule (1), the Court or a judge may, at any time before its expiration, grant leave to a party to renew a writ of execution for one year from the date of renewal, and so on at any time during the continuance of a renewed writ.
If leave is granted under subrule (2), the writ may be renewed – by being marked with an office seal bearing the date of the renewal; or by the party who obtained leave giving to the Sheriff a written notice of renewal, signed by the party or the practitioner for the party and marked with an office seal bearing the date of the renewal.
A renewed writ of execution has effect, and is entitled to priority, according to the time of the delivery of the original writ.
The production of the marked writ of execution or notice renewing a writ is sufficient evidence of it having been so renewed.
