(3) If the writ is directed to more than one person it must be served on the person first named and copies served on each of the other persons named in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2).
(4) Each person served must also be served with a —
(a) copy of the evidence filed under rule 57.2 (2); and
(b) notice in the form included in Form 22 of the date, time and place at which the person restrained is to be brought and containing a warning that in default of compliance with the writ proceedings for committal may be taken.
