Trustee by all persons entitled thereto.
(2.) When any such order relates to any estate or interest in land under
the Land Transfer Act, 1915, it shall be the duty of the District Land
Registrar to register the Public Trustee as the proprietor of that estate or
interest, on production by the Public Trustee of a printed copy of the
Gazette containing the order.
(3.) The property, estate, or interest to which any such order relates
shall be held by the Public Trustee on trust for the person or persons who
would have been entitled thereto if no such order had been made, and with
such powers of sale, realization, or disposition as the Attorney-General may
by the same or any subsequent gazetted order from time to time declare.
- So long as the Custodian of Enemy Property acts in good faith in
the exercise of the powers, duties, and trusts conferred or imposed upon him
by or in pursuance of these regulations, he shall be under no civil liability to
any person whatever for any error, act, or default.
