MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 561

Provisions as to bond to be executed.

561.(1) The bond shall be adjudicated on and enforced in the High Court in
England, unless the salvor and master agree at the time of the execution of
the bond that the bond may be adjudicated on and enforced in any specified
Colonial Court of Admiralty or Vice-Admiralty Court, but that court shall in
that case have the same power and authorities for the purpose as the High
Court in England.

(2) The High Court in England shall have power to enforce any bond given in
pursuance of this Part of this Act in any Colonial Court of Admiralty or
Vice-Admiralty Court in any part of Her Majesty's dominions, and any court
exercising Admiralty jurisdiction in Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, or
the Channel Islands shall assist that court in enforcing those bonds.

(3) Where security has been given for the performance of a bond, the persons
with whom the security is lodged shall deal with the same as the court
adjudicating upon the bond direct.

(4) The consular officer or judge shall at the earliest opportunity transmit
the statements and documents delivered to him, and the notice of the sum fixed
in the bond to the High Court in England or the Colonial Court of Admiralty,
or Vice-Admiralty Court in which the bond is to be enforced, as the case may
be.
