Simultaneous execution

Full Text

The Court may, in its discretion, refuse execution at the same time against the person and property of the judgment-debtor.

Plain English Summary

Vests discretion in the executing court to refuse simultaneous execution against both the physical person (arrest) and the property of the judgment-debtor at the same time.

Key Legal Elements

  • Judicial Discretion: Court balances creditor realization against unnecessary harassment.
  • Default Mode: Property execution ordinarily preferred before committing debtor to civil prison.

Practical Note

Resisting Simultaneous Arrest: When a decree-holder seeks both property attachment and arrest warrants simultaneously, debtor's counsel can invoke Rule 21 requesting the Court to first exhaust recovery through the attached immovable assets.
