Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, and in pursuance of the authority conferred upon him in manner aforesaid doth hereby order as follows:—

1. Whenever any person is known or suspected to have in his possession or under his control or management any document or paper relating to or to be capable of supplying any information on the subject of any claim which falls within the sphere of the New Zealand Clearing Office, the Public Trustee as Controller of the said Clearing Office may, in writing, call upon such person to produce such document or paper or to supply such information within a period of twenty-eight days, and if such person shall, without reasonable cause, refuse or fail to produce or, as the case may be, to furnish the same within the said period such person shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds.

2. The Public Trustee shall be entitled to charge for all services rendered by him in connection with his duties under the principal order or any amendment thereof, and the fees to be charged for such services may be fixed and determined by him from time to time under the provisions of the Public Trust Office Regulations.

3. The Public Trustee shall be under no liability whatsoever for any act, error, or default performed or committed by him in good faith in the course of exercising the powers or discharging the duties conferred or imposed upon him by the principal Order or any amendment thereof.

4. When the Attorney-General is satisfied that any property or money held by the Custodian of Enemy Property in pursuance of the War Regulations or of the principal Order, or any amendments thereof, belonged at the outbreak of war to a person of British, Allied, or Non-enemy nationality, or who has acquired the nationality of an Allied or Associated Power under the provisions of one of the principal Treaties of Peace, or that it is desirable to grant relief to any person, whether of enemy nationality or not, in necessitous circumstances, the Attorney-General may, by warrant under his hand, release at any time such property or money or any part thereof from all or any of the provisions of the War Regulations or the principal Order, or any amendment thereof. In exercising this power the Attorney-General will be guided by but will not necessarily be restricted by the policy adopted by the Imperial Government in connection with similar cases in the United Kingdom.

5. The provisions of the principal Order set out in the first column of the Schedule hereunder shall be amended in the manner shown in the second column of that Schedule.

6. This Order may be cited as the Treaty of Peace Amendment Order, 1922.
