Execution of instruments by order of Court of First Instance

(1)
Where the Court of First Instance has given or made a judgment or order
                directing a person to execute any conveyance, contract or other document, or to
                endorse any negotiable instrument, then, if that
person—
(a)
neglects or refuses to comply with the judgment or order; or
(b)
cannot after reasonable inquiry be found,
the Court of First Instance may, on such terms and conditions, if any, as may
                be just, order that the conveyance, contract or other document shall be executed, or
                that the negotiable instrument shall be endorsed, by such person as the Court may
                nominate for that purpose.
(2)
A conveyance, contract, document or instrument executed or endorsed in
                accordance with subsection (1) shall have the same effect as if it had been executed
                or endorsed by the person originally directed to execute or endorse it.
(3)
Nothing herein shall be held to abridge the powers of the Court of First
                Instance to proceed by attachment against any person neglecting or refusing to
                execute or endorse any such instrument.
