(a) Where an order for a provisional remedy has been made by a judge or justice in an action within the jurisdiction of his or her respective court and the order has been served or levied, the trial of the action or disposition of the order may take place at any time after five (5) days' notice to the defendant, without waiting for the regular term of the judge's or justice's court. The notice may be given by the officer at the time of serving the summons or levying the order.
(b) If the justice before whom the trial should be regularly had is sick, absent, or unable to act, the officer may return the case for trial before the most convenient magistrate.
