(4)

A writ shall not be registered unless it has been lodged for registration within 6 months of the date of its issue.

(5)

Where a writ has been registered then, until its registration has been cancelled in accordance with this Act, a renewal of that writ, or a second or subsequent writ on the same judgment, shall not be registered.[110
