14. Power to stay proceedings
Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
The Court may at any time after the presentation of a bankruptcy petition either stay any action, execution or other legal process against the property or person of the debtor or allow it to continue on such terms as it may think just.
Where the Court makes an order staying any action or proceeding, or staying proceedings generally, the order may be served by sending a copy thereof, under the seal of the Court, by post to the address for service of the plaintiff or other party prosecuting such proceeding or to the address of his advocate.
Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection (I), if the
Court orders the release of any debtor who is under execution for a civil debt, it may impose such conditions as it thinks fit and in particular it may require as a condition of such release that the debtor find security to attend in the subsequent bankruptcy proceedings and to abide by all orders of the Court relating to the proceedings.
