Debt appropriation order
49 Debt appropriation order
In order to recover a judgment debt, a judgment creditor may apply to the court for an order requiring a person who owes or will or may owe an available debt to the judgment debtor alone or to the judgment debtor jointly with another or others to pay —
the whole amount of the available debt; or
such of the available debt as will satisfy the judgment debt,
to the judgment creditor at the time or times when the available debt would otherwise be paid to the judgment debtor.
The court may make such an order, subject to sections 20(1) and 22.
When or after making a debt appropriation order, the court may make an order under Schedule 1 clause 2, 3 or 4.
A debt appropriation order may apply to more than one available debt that is or will be or may be owed by one person to the judgment debtor alone or to the judgment debtor jointly with another or others.
Despite any other law, a debt appropriation order may be made in respect of any available debt owed by the State to the judgment debtor.
