Any person aggrieved by such classification may appeal against the same on the ground that the land of the appellant or any other land in the drainage area has not been fairly classified in accordance with the benefit received or likely to be received from the construction of the works authorized by the Swamp Drainage Act, 1915, or has not been classified.

Notice of appeal setting out the grounds thereof must be given to the Clerk of the Magistrate’s Court at Te Puke, on or before the 8th day of August, 1929, and a copy of such notice of appeal must, on or before the last-mentioned date, be lodged at the Head Office of the Department of Lands and Survey, at Wellington.
