The Servicemen’s Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943.—Notice Declaring an Interest in Land Taken for the Settlement of a Discharged Serviceman

WHEREAS an application has been made for the consent of the Land Valuation Court to a transaction which relates to the lands described in the Schedule hereto, and to which Part III of the Servicemen’s Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943, as extended by the provisions of section 4 of the Servicemen’s Settlement and Land Sales Amendment Act, 1948, applies:

And whereas the Land Valuation Committee to which the said application has been referred is of opinion that the lands to which the said application relates are farm lands adaptable for the settlement of a discharged serviceman:

And whereas the said Committee, not being satisfied that the Crown had decided not to acquire or arrange for the acquisition of the interest of the lessee or licensee in the land described in the said Schedule, and being satisfied that the proposed transferee or assignee under the said transaction is not a child of the transferor who intends to reside personally on the land and to farm the same exclusively for his own use and benefit, did, on the 17th day of August, 1949, make an order determining the value of the interest of the lessee or licensee in the lands described in the said Schedule, and no appeal from the said order was made within the time prescribed by the said Act, or within any further time allowed by the Court:

And whereas the said land is not the land of any serviceman who is for the time being serving outside New Zealand in any of His Majesty’s Forces or in any British ship:

Now, therefore, the Minister of Lands, acting in pursuance of section 51 of the said Act, doth hereby declare that the interest of the lessee or licensee in the lands described in the said Schedule is hereby taken for the settlement of a discharged serviceman, and hereby specifies the 24th day of October, 1949, as the date on which the interest of the lessee or licensee in the lands described in the said Schedule shall be deemed to be vested in His Majesty the King.
