21. At any time after the judgment ordering the closing of the house, or within 15 days of the judgment ordering its demolition or removal, the registered owner thereof, upon establishing his good faith and his ignorance of the purposes for which the house was used in contravention of the provisions hereof, and upon furnishing a cash bond to an amount of not more than $5,000, to be deposited in court as a guarantee that the house will not be again used for such purposes, may obtain an order suspending the execution of such judgment; and the registrar shall, upon presentation of a certified copy of such order, cancel in the land register the registration of the judgment the operation of which is so suspended.
Upon the application of the interested parties, by petition to the Superior Court or to a judge thereof, supported by evidence that, notwithstanding such bond and guarantee, use continues to be made of the house in contravention of the provisions of this Division, the judge may cancel the said bond and order the confiscation of the deposit in favour of the State, and the renewal of the registration of the judgment ordering the closing of the house or its demolition or removal, as the case may be.
