(b) be intimated to the creditor.

(3) The court must, if satisfied that the residual attachment—

(b) has been executed incompetently or irregularly; or

(c) has ceased to have effect,

make an order declaring that to be the case and recalling the residual attachment.

(4) The court may, if satisfied that the residual attachment is valid but—
