Order 65 — Miscellaneous Provisions

Where a matter arises in respect of which no provision or adequate provision is made in these Rules or by any other written law for taking any procedural step or action, the Court or the Chief Registrar, as the case may be, shall adopt such procedure or make an Order that accords with substantial justice.

All fines, forfeitures, pecuniary penalties and cost ordered to be paid may be levied by distress, seizure and sale of the moveable and immovable property of the person making default in payment.

When the publication of any notice is required, it may be made by advertisement in the State Gazette or a National Daily Newspaper, unless otherwise provided in any particular case any rule of Court or otherwise ordered by the Court.

Any process or document shall not be filed unless it has endorsed on it, the name, suit number of the cause, date of filing and whether filled by plaintiff or defendant; and on being filed such endorsement shall be initialled by the Registrar and recorded in the process register.

All warrants and order of whatever description shall be sufficiently addressed for execution by being directed to the sheriff; but this provision shall not prevent any order or warrant from being addressed to a person by name or to a person named and to officers of Court generally or to the Local Government Area Council.
