Sci Fa - Law Dictionary

Scire facias for the Crown. The summary proceed-ing by extent is only resorted to when a Crown debtor is insolvent, or there is good ground for supposing that the debt may be lost by delay. in ordinary cases where a debt or duty appears by record to be owing to the Crown, the process for the Crown is a writ of sci. fa. quae executionem non; but should the defendant become insolvent pend-ing this writ, the Crown may abandon the proceed-ing and resort to an extent. Consult Robertson on the Crown. See also AIR 1960 AP 123 (126)....
