Article 330

Where at any stage of a suit, other than a suit regarding immovable property, the court is satisfied by affidavit or other evidence under oath that the defendant or a plaintiff against whom a counter-claim has been lodged:

with intent to delay the plaintiff, or to avoid any process of the court or to obstruct or delay the execution of any judgment that may be passed against him is about to abscond or leave, or has absconded or left, the local limits of the jurisdiction of the court, or has disposed of or removed his property or any part thereof from such limits; or

is about to leave Eritrea under circumstances affording reasonable probability that the plaintiff will or may thereby be obstructed or delayed in the execution of any judgment that may be passed against the defendant in the suit,

The defendant shall not be arrested if he pays to the officer entrusted with the execution of the warrant such sum specified in the warrant as is sufficient to satisfy the plaintiffs claim, which sum shall be held in deposit by the court until the suit is disposed of or until the further order of the court.
