447. On the return-day of the order, if the person to whom it is directed does not attend and does not establish a sufficient excuse for not attending, and if the Court is satisfied that the order has been duly served, or if such person attends and does not show cause, to the satisfaction of the Court, why he should not be punished for the disobedience, the Court may issue a warrant for his committal to prison.
Proceedings on return-day. Ib. s. 81 (4.)
448. The Court may enlarge the time for the return to the order, or may, on the return of it and under circumstances which would strictly justify the immediate committal of the person guilty of the disobedience, direct that the warrant for his committal to prison shall issue only after a certain time and in the event of his continued disobedience at that time to the judgment in respect of which he has been guilty of disobedience.
Enlargement of time for order, and making of order of conditional return to committal. Ib. s. 81.(5.)
449. A person committed for disobedience to a judgment shall be liable to be detained in custody until he has obeyed the judgment in all things which are to be immediately performed and given such security as the Court may think fit to obey the other parts of the judgment, if any, at the future times thereby appointed, or, in case of his no longer having the power to obey the judgment, then until he has been imprisoned for such time or until he has paid such fine as the Court may direct.
Duration of detention of person committed. Ib. s. 81 (6.)
450. If a mandamus, granted in an action or otherwise, or a mandatory order, injunction, or judgment for the specific performance of any contract is not complied with, the Court, besides or instead of proceedings against the disobedient party for contempt, may direct that the act required to be done may be done, so far as practicable, by the party by whom the mandamus, order, injunction, or judgment has been obtained, or by some other person appointed by the Court, at the cost of the disobedient party, and, upon the act being done, the expenses incurred may be ascertained in such manner as the Court may direct, and execution may issue for the amount so ascertained, and costs.
