SUPREME COURT RULES 1987 - REG 69.05

Order of sale

    (1)     Subject to subrules (2) and (3), where it appears to the Sheriff that property subject to levy under a warrant is more than sufficient to satisfy the amount to be levied, he shall take or sell so much of the property as appears to him to be sufficient.

    (2)     Subject to subrule (3), the Sheriff shall take or sell property:

        (a)     in such order as seems to him best for the prompt execution of the warrant without undue expense;

        (b)     subject to paragraph (a), in such order as the debtor directs; and

        (c)     subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), in such order as seems to the Sheriff best for minimizing hardship to the debtor and other persons.

    (3)     Unless the debtor so requests, land shall not be put for sale under the warrant until all other property liable to sale under the warrant has been sold.

    (4)     The Court may order that property subject to levy under the warrant be taken or sold otherwise than in accordance with this rule.
