Cap. 55 Art. 124Duties of the court.

(1) The court shall examine whether the notary, the archivist and the Director of the Public Registry have performed the duties imposed upon them by this Act or by any other law, and, in case of any contravention, the court may award punishment and give any other directions which it may deem expedient according to law.

(2) When the contravention consists in any omission on the part of the notary or the archivist, the court shall order such notary or archivist to do that which he has omitted, within such time as the court shall fix in its discretion.

(3) Where the order is made to the archivist, the court shall direct the registrar to see whether such order is punctually carried out. If the archivist fails to comply with any such order, the court may suspend the archivist from his office for such time as the default continues.

(4) Where the order is made to a notary, the court shall direct one of the review officers if the order refers to acts, or the Chief Notary if the order refers to wills, to ensure that such order is punctually carried out. If the notary fails to comply with such order, the court may in its discretion order the partial incapacitation of the notary until such time as he complies, and all the provisions on partial incapacitation shall apply. mutatis mutandis
