Bail Act certificate-of-lien references in the Execution Act will be updated when a future order is made

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

Two provisions in the Execution Act that refer to a 'certificate of lien under the Bail Act' are set to be amended to say 'continued under section 8.4 of the Bail Act' instead. This is a technical cross-reference correction tied to changes made to the Bail Act itself. The amendments are not yet in force — they will take effect on a date set by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. No action is required now, but sheriffs and those managing writs of execution or certificates of lien should be aware the wording of these provisions will change once that order is made.
