(3) Every sentence and every order and judgment of a special court shall be carried out by the civil authorities and officers by whom and in the like manner as a like sentence, order, or judgment of the Central Criminal Court is required by law to be carried out.

(4) Every conviction, sentence, order, and judgment of a special court shall, save as is hereinafter provided, have the like consequences in law as a like conviction, sentence, order, or judgment of the Central Criminal Court would have and in particular shall confer on the civil authorities and officers carrying out the same the like protections and immunities as would be possessed by them when carrying out a like conviction, sentence, order, or judgment of the Central Criminal Court.

(5) No appeal shall lie from any conviction, sentence, order, or judgment of a special court and no special court shall be liable to be restrained in the execution of its powers under this Part of this Act by any other court nor shall any proceedings before a special court be removed by certiorari to any other court.
