1923. Judicial hypothec results from judgments of the courts of Saint Lucia ordering the payment of a specific sum of money. Such judgments likewise involve hypothec for interest and costs without specifying the amount subject to the restrictions contained in the Book respecting Registration of Real Rights.
It also results from judicial suretyship and from any other judicial act creating an obligation to pay a specific sum of money.
Judicial hypothec affects generally the immovables owned by the debtor at the time of the registration of such hypothec and those subsequently owned by him or her unless the same are exempt from seizure or are incapable of alienation otherwise.
But the order of the Judge authorising the amount of advances or supplies for cultivation, crops and otherwise under article 1904 confers judicial hypothec from its registration as prescribed in article 2002 only on the immovables respecting which the order was made and in so far only as the same are the property of the debtor who applied for, or of any person who consented to, the order. (Amended by Act 20 of 1918)
