## ARREST WARRANT
IN THE \[name of Court\]
REGISTRY: \[name of Registry\]
GENERAL DIVISION
No. of \[year\]
IN THE MATTER OF \[name of debtor or bankrupt estate\]
\[name of applicant(s)\]
Applicant(s)
\[name of respondent(s)\]
Respondent(s)
TO: \[name of officer\], a \*member/\*special member of the Australian Federal Police and to all other members and special members of the Australian Federal Police and to all constables of police throughout the Commonwealth and to the Governor or Keeper of Her Majesty’s Gaol at \[place\] and to the Governor or Keeper of any of Her Majesty’s Gaols within the Commonwealth.
BECAUSE of evidence taken on oath, the Court has reason to believe that \[name of debtor or bankrupt\], against whom a bankruptcy notice has been issued, has absconded with a view to avoiding payment of \*his/\*her debts \[or otherwise as the case may be in accordance with the wording of section 78 of the Bankruptcy Act 1966\].
THIS warrant therefore requires and authorises you, \[name of officer\], and all other constables to whom this warrant is addressed, to take \[name of debtor or bankrupt\] and to deliver \*him/\*her to the Governor or Keeper of Her Majesty’s Gaol at \[place\], and you the Governor or Keeper are to receive \[name of debtor or bankrupt\] and keep \*him/\*her safely in the gaol and in your custody until the Court otherwise orders.
THIS warrant also requires and authorises you, \[name of officer\], and all other constables to whom this warrant is addressed, to seize any property, books, documents, papers and writings in the possession of the \*debtor/\*bankrupt, and to deliver them into the custody of \[full name and address of person named in Court’s order\] to be kept by that person until the Court makes an order for their disposal.
