Enforcement and recovery
11 Summary recovery.
1
Where an order has been made by a Reinstatement Committee or by the umpire or a deputy umpire on appeal for the payment to a person of any sum, that sum may, without prejudice to any other means for its recovery, be recovered from the person against whom the order is made summarily as a civil debt; but proceedings shall not be brought, whether summarily or otherwise, for the recovery of any such sum—
a
until the time allowed for appealing against the order has expired; or,
b
where an appeal is brought, until the appeal is decided or withdrawn.
2
Any officer authorised in that behalf by special or general directions of the Secretary of State—
a
may institute on behalf of and in the name of any person who has entered upon a period of whole-time service civil proceedings for the recovery of any such sum as is mentioned in subsection (1), and
b
in any such proceedings the court may make an order for the payment of costs by the officer as if he were a party to the proceedings,
but the powers conferred by this subsection are not in derogation of any right of that person himself to recover such sums by civil proceedings.
