(1) The judgment creditor may apply for the renewal of a writ of execution.
(2) The general rule is that an application for renewal must be made within the period for which the writ is valid.
(3) If the judgment creditor applies for renewal after the end of that period, the court may renew the writ only if it is satisfied that the judgment creditor has —
(a) taken all reasonable steps to execute the writ or some part of it; and
(b) been unable to do so.
(4) An application for renewal may be made without notice but must be supported by evidence on affidavit.
(5) The judgment creditor must state in the affidavit under paragraph (4) whether or not the judgment creditor is aware of any other judgment creditor and, if so, give such details of which the judgment creditor is aware as to the money due from the judgment debtor to each such judgment creditor.
(6) On such an application the court must have regard to the interests of any other judgment creditor of whose existence it is aware.
