Whenever it is intended to take land compulsorily under “The Land for Settlements Consolidation Act, 1900,” the requisition referred to in section 15 of “The Land for Settlements Consolidation Act, 1900” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), shall be in the Form No.1 in the Schedule hereto, or to that effect.

2. The claim for compensation referred to in section 18 of the said Act shall be in the Form No. 2 in the Schedule hereto, or to that effect.

3. The claim shall be served on the Minister of Lands by being delivered at his office in Wellington, or by being sent by registered letter addressed to him at such office.

4. Not later than twenty-one days after service of the claim the claimant shall file a copy of the claim in the office of the Supreme Court in the Supreme Court district within which the land proposed to be taken is situate, or, if there are more than one such offices, then in the office nearest to the land; and if he fails or neglects so to do the Minister at any time thereafter may do so at the cost and in the stead of the claimant.

5. Not later than twenty-one days after service of the claim the claimant shall also file in the said office of the said Court a notice stating the name and address of the person he appoints to act as his Assessor, and shall serve a copy of such notice on the Minister.

6. Within twenty-one days after receiving the notice of the appointment of the claimant’s Assessor the Minister shall also file in the office of the said Court a notice stating the name and address of the person he appoints to act as his Assessor, and shall serve a copy of such notice on the claimant.

7. If the claimant or the Minister fails to do any of the things hereinbefore directed within the time limited for the doing of the same, the claimant or the Minister, as the case may be, may apply to the Chief Justice in a summary way for an extension of the time so limited, and the Chief Justice may, on sufficient cause shown, order that the time be extended accordingly for such period and upon such terms as to costs and otherwise as he thinks fit; and the doing of any such things within such extended time shall be and be deemed to be an effectual compliance with these regulations.

8. If the claimant or the Minister makes default in appointing an Assessor, or in doing any other act, matter, or thing by the said Act or these regulations required or directed to be done, then, on summary application in that behalf by the party not in default, the Chief Justice may, on such terms as to costs and otherwise as he thinks fit, appoint an Assessor, or give such directions and make such orders as in his opinion are necessary or expedient in order to enable the claim to be heard and adjudicated upon by the Compensation Court.
