(9) The confirmation of an order made under this sec­ tion shall not affect any power of the COUTt by which the order was originally made to vary or rescind the order; but on the making of a varying or rescinding order the court shall send a certified copy thereof, to­ gether with the depositions or a certified copy of the transcript of any new evidence adduced before the court, to the Commissioner for transmission to the proper officer of the reciprocating state in which the original order was confirmed, and in the case of an order varying an original order the order shall not have any effect unless and until confirmed in like manner as the original order.

(2) At the hearing it shall be open to the person on whom the summons was served to raise any defence that he might have raised in the original proceedings had . he been a party thereto but no other defence; and the statement from the court that made the provisional order stating the grounds on which the making of the order might have been opposed if the person against whom the order was made had been a party to the proceedings shall be conclusive evidence that those grounds are grounds on which objection may be taken.

(4) If the person against whom the summons was issued appears at the hearing and satisfies the court that for the purpose of any defence it is necessary to remit the case to the court that made the provisional order for the taking of any further evidence, the court may so remit the case and adjourn the proceedings for the purpose.

(5) Where a provisional order has been confirmed under this section, it may be varied or rescinded in like manner as . if it had originally been made by the confirming court, and where on an application for rescission or variation the court is satisfied that it is necessary to remit the case to the court that made the order for the purpose of taking any further evidence, the court may so remit the case and adjourn the proceedings for the purpose.

(1) A court in which an order has been registered under this Ordinance or by which an order has been confirmed under this Ordinance, and the officers of such court, shall take all proper steps for enforcing the order.

(2) Every such order shall be enforceable in like manner as if the order were a judgment of the court in which the order is so registered or by which it is so confirmed. 8. The Commissioner may make rules prescribing the practice and procedure under this Ordinance. 9.

Any document purporting to be signed by a judge or officer of a court in a reciprocating state, until the contrary is proved, shall be deemed to have been so signed without proof of the signature or judicial or official character of the person appearing to have signed it, and the officer of a court by whom a document IS signed, until the contrary is proved, shall be deemed to have been the proper officer of the court to sign the document. 10.
