(c) in the case of an infringement warrant issued against a natural person, including a director to whom a declaration under section 91 applies, if the person executing the infringement warrant cannot find sufficient personal property of the person named in the infringement warrant on which to levy the amounts named in the infringement warrant together with all lawful costs of execution—

(a) to break and enter a property for the purpose of finding and seizing personal property;
(b) in the case of an infringement warrant issued against a natural person, including a director to whom a declaration under section 91 applies, to break and enter a property for the purpose of finding and seizing personal property before arresting the person named in the infringement warrant.
(3) Despite sub-section (2)(b), a person to whom an infringement warrant is directed must not arrest the person named in the infringement warrant unless the person executing the infringement warrant reasonably believes that there is not sufficient personal property of the person named in the infringement warrant on which to levy the amounts named in the infringement warrant together with all lawful costs of execution.
(4) On the imprisonment of a person for any reason, if there are any unsatisfied infringement warrants outstanding against the person, any person to whom such a warrant is directed is not required, in executing the infringement warrant, to serve any notice or to search for, or seize, any personal property of the imprisoned person.
