Plain-English Summary
Section 1584 polices the paperwork the earlier sections require. If an order of delivery issues without the affidavit and undertaking the statute demands, it gets set aside, and the clerk who issued it -- not the parties -- bears that cost. Beyond having the order undone, the plaintiff also becomes liable in damages to whoever was injured by the improper order.
