so regulating the process of execution which may issue in respect of any sum required to be paid by any judgment, order or award as to secure that, unless it is shown, in such manner as may be prescribed by the Rules, that the permission of the Authority for the payment of the sum is not required under this Act or has been given without conditions, the proceeds of the execution will be paid into court, and, so far as is necessary for that purpose, varying the form of any writ of execution or other similar document or the duties of the Sheriff or other officer to whom any such writ or other similar document is directed,may be made by the Rules Committee established under section 80 of the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1969.(2) The form of any statutory demand shall be such as may be prescribed by the Authority.4.—
