2010 Enforcement—enforcement of Magistrates Court order in
order of the Magistrates Court, the Magistrates Court may give the
enforcement creditor a certificate of—
(a) the money order; and
(b) the amount owing under the money order (including any amount
payable for interest and costs).
(2) An application under subrule (1) is made by filing in the Magistrates
(a) a draft certificate; and
(b) an affidavit in support of the application that contains sufficient
information to enable the court to give the certificate.
Rule 2010A
(4) The draft certificate and affidavit need not be served on anyone unless
(5) Unless the court otherwise orders on its own initiative, the application
must be dealt with without a hearing and in the absence of the parties.
(6) The court may give a certificate under subrule (1) only if—
(a) a seizure and sale order previously made for the order has been
returned completely or partly unsatisfied; or
(b) the court otherwise considers it appropriate.
(7) If the certificate is given, no further action may be taken in the
Magistrates Court to enforce the money order.
(8) However, if the certificate, and an affidavit in support setting out the
amount owing under the money order and relevant details about
interest and costs, is filed in the Supreme Court, final judgment may
be entered in the Supreme Court in favour of the enforcement creditor
for—
(a) the amount stated in the certificate as the amount owing under
the money order; and
(b) any interest and costs up to the day of entry of final judgment.
(9) Subrule (8) does not authorise the giving of interest on interest.
(10) A judgment entered under subrule (8) may be enforced as if it were a
money order made by the Supreme Court.
