Civil Bill Courts Procedure Amendment Act (Ireland) 1864

Certiorari to remove judgment of civil bill court for sum exceeding 20l.

9. If a judge of a Superior Court shall be satisfied that a party against whom judgment for an amount exceeding twenty pounds, exclusive of costs, has been obtained in a civil bill court has no goods or chattels which can be conveniently taken to satisfy such judgment, he may, if he shall think fit, and on such terms as to costs as he may direct, order a writ of certiorari to issue to remove the judgment of the civil bill court into one of the Superior Courts; and when removed it shall have the same force and effect, and the same proceedings may be had thereon, as in the case of a judgment of such Superior Court, but no action shall be brought upon such judgment.
