54. Where a person other than a debtor of support owes an amount under this Act, the Minister may, at the expiry of the time prescribed by section 46, issue a certificate attesting that the debt is exigible and specifying the amount owed; the certificate shall be proof that the debt is exigible.
If, however, the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that such a person is attempting to evade paying that amount, the Minister may issue the certificate forthwith.
Once the certificate, together with a copy of a document attesting the amount owed, is filed at the office of the Superior Court, the certificate becomes enforceable as if it were a judgment of that court and has all the effects of such a judgment.
