SECTION 474
Default
Family Court Act (FCT) CHAPTER 686, ARTICLE 4, PART 7
§ 474. Default. A default in the terms of the order shall constitute a
breach of the undertaking. When there has been a default the court shall
cause an affidavit to be drawn, verified and filed by any person
familiar with the facts. The surety shall thereupon be personally
served, or served by registered mail at the address given in the
undertaking or subsequent address furnished by said surety in writing,
with notice of such default and shall be required to attend at the court
on a day certain and show cause why judgment should not be entered on
the undertaking and the amount thereof applied to the relief of the
petitioner for the amount in default. If the surety appears and pays the
amount in arrears the court may remit the forfeiture. Inability to serve
the surety shall not be prejudicial to the renewal of proceedings
against the respondent.
