Where a participant is entitled to exercise a right, is under an obligation or is subject to any restriction, the appropriate approved authority shall take such steps as are reasonably practicable to ensure that —
the right or obligation is dealt with according to law; and
the participant complies with the restriction.
The steps referred to in subsection (1) may include —
providing protection for the participant while the participant is attending court; and
notifying a party or possible party to legal proceedings, that the authority shall accept process issued by a court or tribunal on behalf of the participant, and nominating one of its officers for the purpose.
Where the authority is satisfied that a participant who has been provided with a new identity under the Programme is using the new identity to —
avoid obligations that were incurred before the new identity was established; or
avoid complying with restrictions that were imposed on the participant before the new identity was established,
the authority shall give notice in writing to the participant stating that unless he satisfies the authority that the obligations are dealt with according to law or the restriction is complied with, the authority shall take such action as it considers necessary to ensure performance of the obligations or compliance with the restrictions.
The action referred to in subsection (3) may include informing a person who is seeking to enforce rights against the participant, of the details of any property, real or personal, owned by the participant under his former identity.
