Caveat against arrest

6.—(1) A person who desires to prevent the arrest of any property must file in the Central Office a praecipe, in Form No. 4 in Appendix B, signed by him or his solicitor undertaking—

(a) to enter an appearance in any action that may be begun against the property described in the praecipe, and

(b) within 3 days after receiving notice that such an action has been begun, to give bail in the action in a sum not exceeding an amount specified in the praecipe or to pay the amount so specified into court;

and on the filing of the praecipe a caveat against the issue of a warrant to arrest the property described in the praecipe shall he entered in the caveat book.

(2) The fact that there is a caveat against arrest in force shall not prevent the issue of a warrant to arrest the property to which the caveat relates.
