Suspending A Warrant
The defendant may apply for the warrant to be suspended; this application must state reasons, for instance an offer to pay by installments, and usually requires payment of a fee. The court will inform the creditor of the application and require them to confirm whether they agree to the suspension and if not to state why and, in the case of an offer, what they would accept.
If the suspension is contested the Court will list the appliaction for a hearing. The court will there decide whether the warrant should be suspended, and whether terms attach to the suspension. The Court is not bound by the party's suggested payment regimes.

Famous quotes containing the words suspending and/or warrant:
“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Heres the challenge, read it. I warrant theres vinegar and pepper int.
Fabian. Ist so saucy?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
