Comment on this
The land bonds representing the purchase money of these lands were put to credit as from 3rd June, 1975, the date of possession, and bear interest from that date.
The solicitor having carriage had been asked in May, 1975, to lodge title documents and these were received by the Land Commission examiner on 19th November, 1975. The examiner's rulings on title were issued to the solicitor on the 28th November, 1975, but were not discharged until 11th November, 1976.
The final step is for the solicitor to attend before the examiner for the purpose of vouching and allocation. He was requested on 26th November, 1976, to take out the necessary appointment but has not yet done so.
