Section 31
Execution of deed, signing of document or indorsement of negotiable instrument
(1)
If any judgment or order of the Family Division of the High Court or a Family Court is for the execution of a deed, the signing of a document or the indorsement of a negotiable instrument, and the party ordered to execute the deed, sign the document or indorse the instrument is absent, or neglects or refuses to do so —
any party interested in having the deed executed, the document signed or the instrument indorsed may prepare a deed, a document or an indorsement of the instrument in accordance with the terms of the judgment or order, and tender the same to a Registrar for execution upon the proper stamp, if any is required by law; and
the signature of the Registrar on the deed, document or indorsement, by order of the Family Division of the High Court or the Family Court (as the case may be), has the same effect as the execution of the deed, signing of the document or indorsement of the instrument by the party ordered to execute the deed, sign the document or indorse the instrument.
(2)
Nothing in this section is to be held to abridge the powers of the Family Division of the High Court or a Family Court to proceed by attachment against any person neglecting or refusing to execute, sign or indorse any such deed, document or instrument.
