26. Certificate for payment of judgment by Crown



(1) Except as is provided in this section, no execution or attachment or
process in the nature thereof shall be issued against the Crown out of any
court in any proceeding under this Part; but after any judgment order or
decree has been given pronounced or entered against the Crown in any such
proceeding the proper officer of the court shall give to the party in whose
favour it was so given pronounced or entered a certificate setting out the sum
awarded against the Crown in the proceeding, whether as damages or otherwise
or for costs, and the other particulars in respect of which compliance by the
Crown is directed by the judgment order or decree.

(2) On the receipt of such certificate it shall be lawful for the Governor to
cause to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund (which is hereby to the
necessary extent appropriated accordingly) the sum set out in the certificate
and also to cause compliance to be made with the other particulars set out
therein.
