--(1) Where a person, claiming to have a right to claim in rem against any property which is under arrest or the proceeds of sale thereof, wishes to be served with notice of any application to the court in respect of that property or those proceeds, he must file a request in the appropriate practice form and, on the filing of that request, a caveat must be entered in the caveat book.
--(2) Where the release of any property under arrest is delayed by the entry of a caveat under this rule, any person having an interest in that property may apply to the court for an order requiring the person who procured the entry of the caveat to pay to the applicant damages in respect of the loss suffered by the applicant by reason of the delay, and the court, unless it is satisfied that the person procuring the entry of the caveat had a good and sufficient reason for so doing, may make an order accordingly.
--(3) Where the court makes an order under paragraph (2), it must assess the costs.
