The Execution Department. Its competence over all execution acts. Necessary consequence. Payment of the debt in respect of which an order to arrest and bring in the debtor was issued, or its deposit in the Execution Department's treasury. Its obligation, to the exclusion of others, to take the required measures and notify the authority competent to execute that order. Its failure to do so. Its sole liability - 681 - Civil Procedure for any harm suffered by the debtor. Contravention thereof. An error necessitating partial cassation of the judgment insofar as it ruled that the Department was not liable for failing to notify payment of a maintenance debt, which resulted in the wrongful arrest of the debtor thereof.
