Family Court Rules 2021

In considering an application for sequestration, the court must be satisfied that —

if the obligation to be enforced arises under an order, the payer has been served with the order to be enforced; and

the payer has refused or failed to comply with the obligation; and

an order for sequestration is the most appropriate method of enforcing the obligation.

On appointing a sequestrator, the court may —

authorise and direct the sequestrator —

to enter and take possession of the payer’s property or part of the property; and

to collect and receive the income of the property, including rent, profits and takings of a business; and

to keep the property and income under sequestration until the payer complies with the obligation or until further order;

fix the remuneration of the sequestrator.
