(1) The registrar may issue a warrant (an
"immobilisation warrant" ), in the approved form, to immobilise 1 or more
vehicles of an enforcement debtor if, within 14 days after the registrar
serves on the debtor a notice of intention to issue an
immobilisation warrant—
(a) the debtor does not pay SPER the enforceable
amount of the debtor’s SPER debt; and
(b) the debtor is not otherwise
discharging the enforceable amount of the debtor’s SPER debt.
(2) In
deciding whether to issue an immobilisation warrant for a vehicle, the
registrar may have regard to whether immobilising the vehicle would cause
severe or unusual hardship to the enforcement debtor, the enforcement
debtor’s family or another person who uses the vehicle but has no capacity
to ensure the enforcement debtor pays the amount owing.
(3) A copy of the
immobilisation warrant must be served on the enforcement debtor as soon as
practicable after it is issued.
