Before a warrant of arrest can be issued, the
applicant must apply for a warrant of arrest, and procure a search to
be made in the record of caveats. This is ensure is there is any
caveat against the arrest in force, with respect to property involved.
In addition, the applicant has to provide a letter to the Registry, which
states the particulars of the person who is authorised to effect the arrest
(i.e., the applicant’s nominated agent) pursuant to Section 65A of the
Supreme Court of Judicature Act.
A written undertaking has to be provided to the Sheriff to indemnify, and
provide the Sheriff with sufficient funds to meet the charges and expenses
incurred in consequence of the request for arrest.
