HIGH COURT ORDINANCE - SECT 21G

Service of writ in lieu of demand

(Past version on 30/06/1997).

Adaptation amendments retroactively made - see 25 of 1998 s. 2 In a case where
section 21F has effect, if-

   (a)  one-half-year's rent is in arrear at the time of the commencement of
        the action;

   (b)  the lessor has a right of re-entry for non-payment of that rent; and

   (c)  no sufficient distress is to be found on the premises countervailing
        the arrears then due, the service of the writ in the action in the
        prescribed manner shall stand in lieu of a demand and re-entry. (Added
        52 of 1987 s. 18) [cf. 1984 c. 28 s. 139 U.K.]
