makes other amendments relating to Schedule 12 and to distress or execution.

The following are renamed—

writs of fieri facias, except writs of fieri facias de bonis ecclesiasticis, are renamed writs of control;
warrants of execution are renamed warrants of control;
warrants of distress, unless the power they confer is exercisable only against specific goods, are renamed warrants of control.
