powers thereof, and any Rules of Court for the time being
in force shall, so far as applicable, apply to the Court when
exercising the jurisdiction conferred by these regulations.

22. The Council shall notify the persons (if any) objecting
    to the proposed alignment or redefinition of the time and
    place set down for the hearing of the application.

23. The Court may, after hearing all parties, make such
    alignment order or redefinition order as in its discretion it
    thinks fit.

24. The Council shall cause every alignment order and
    redefinition order to be registered against the titles to all land
    affected as provided by section 29 of the Hawke's Bay Earth-
    quake Act, 1931.

PART IV.—MISCELLANEOUS.

25. If an alignment order has the effect of including in
    the street the site occupied by any permanent building or part
    of a permanent building existing at the date of the order,
    which cannot be proved to have encroached before the earth-
    quake upon the legal boundary of the street, the owner for
    the time being thereof shall have the right to occupy such
    site so long as such building—
    (a) Remains erected; and
    (b) Has not, after the making of the alignment order, been
    re-erected; and
    (c) Has not, after the making of the alignment order, been
    added to or structurally altered to such an extent
    that the aggregate cost of additions or structural
    alterations exceeds one-fourth of the fair value of
    such building at the date of the alignment order:
    Provided that nothing herein contained shall be deemed
    to give the owner of such building any right or title to the land
    projecting over the permanent alignment.

26. Unless in making an alignment order the Court other-
    wise directs, the provisions of section 128 of the Public Works
    Act, 1928, shall not apply to any land if and so far as the
    frontage thereof has been determined by such alignment
    order.

27. The establishment of an alignment shall not entitle any
    owner of, or any person having, any estate or interest in lands
    affected by such alignment to claim compensation for any
    matter arising therefrom, nor shall any such person be liable
    for payment of any betterment which may accrue from the
    operation of such alignment.

28. Upon the registration of an alignment order or redefini-
    tion order, every dedication, grant, conveyance, assurance,
    dealing, and instrument of title relating to any street or other
    parcel of land thereby affected, and every interest legal and
    equitable in the same, and any time that has commenced
    to run under the Statutes of Limitation shall affect such
    street or other parcel as so aligned or redefined as if such
    street or other parcel were identically the land originally
    dealt with or comprised in such dedication, grant, conveyance,
    assurance, dealing, or instrument of title, or affected by such
    interest legal or equitable, or affected by the running of time
    under the Statutes of Limitation, and shall affect such street
    or other parcel as so aligned or redefined to the extinction
    of all interests legal or equitable (including any interest of
    His Majesty and any public right of road) existing therein
    prior to such registration.

29. The making of an alignment order for any street shall
    not prevent the subsequent making of another alignment
    order for the same or any other boundary of the same street.

30. It shall be lawful to combine in the same plan, notice,
    application, and order of the Court, and generally in all
    proceedings under these regulations, matters affecting the
    alignment of a street and matters affecting the redefinition
    of parcels of land other than streets.
