The amount for which such an article may be redeemed is the value fixed under subsection (2) or (3) of section 15 above.

The officer shall, on receiving payment from the debtor for the redemption of an attached article, grant a receipt in the form prescribed by Act of Sederunt to the debtor.

The attachment of the article is, on the grant of such a receipt, to cease to have effect.
