CHARGING ORDERS AND STOP ORDERS
I. Orders charging stocks and shares
1. An application for an order charging stock or shares under section 23 of the Debtors (Ireland) Act, 1840 or section 132 of the Common Law Procedure Amendment Act (Ireland), 1853, shall be made by motion ex parte grounded upon an affidavit. Such order shall in the first instance be an order to show cause, and shall fix a time at which the judgment debtor shall appear before the court or an officer of the court, as such court shall appoint, to show cause why such order should not be made absolute. The order shall be served on the judgment debtor or his solicitor at least seven days before the date fixed for the hearing, in the manner provided by Order 121, or in such other manner as the court may direct. Where the judgment debtor fails to appear or to show cause, the order shall be made absolute. The court may on the application of any person interested, and on such terms as to costs or otherwise as may be just, discharge or vary an order made in accordance with this rule.
