MAINTENANCE ORDERS (FACILITIES FOR ENFORCEMENT) ACT 1920 - SECT 6

Mode of enforcing orders.

6.(1) A court of summary jurisdiction in which an order has been registered
under this Act or by which an order has been confirmed under this Act, and the
officers of such court, shall take all such steps for enforcing the order as
may be prescribed.

(2) Every such order shall be enforceable in like manner as if the order were
for the payment of a civil debt recoverable summarily:

Provided that, if the order is of such a nature that if made by the court in
which it is so registered, or by which it is so confirmed, it would be
enforceable in like manner as an order of affiliation, the order shall be so
enforceable.

(3) A warrant of distress or commitment issued by a court of summary
jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing any order so registered or confirmed
may be executed in any part of the United Kingdom in the same manner as if the
warrant had been originally issued or subsequently endorsed by a court of
summary jurisdiction having jurisdiction in the place where the warrant is
executed.
