Recovery of arrears on bastardy orders, &c
|
32.—(1) It is hereby declared that, notwithstanding anything in section fifty-four of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879, the provisions of section eleven of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1848 (which relate to the time within which summary proceedings are to be taken), do not apply to proceedings for enforcing the payment of sums adjudged to be paid by an order in any matter of bastardy or by an order enforceable as an order of affiliation.
|
|
| |
(2) Proceedings for the enforcement of an order in any matter of bastardy or of an order enforceable as an order of affiliation may be taken at any time after the expiration of fourteen clear days from the making of the order, and accordingly in section four of the Bastardy Laws Amendment Act, 1872, “after the expiration of fourteen clear days” shall be substituted for “after the expiration of one calendar month.”
|
|
| |
(3) Where in any proceedings for the enforcement of an order in any matter of bastardy or of an order enforceable as an order of affiliation the court commits the defendant to prison then, unless the court otherwise directs, no arrears shall accrue under the order during the time that the defendant is in prison.
