3. An application to the Commission to register a claim in accordance with the provisions of this Order may be made by or on behalf of any person who on the date on which this Order comes into operation:-
(a) is a United Kingdom national; and
(b) is beneficially entitled to the property to which the claim relates or would have been so entitled but for confiscation, nationalisation, expropriation or dispossession, whether direct or indirect, or through the application of governmental measures effectively causing disposses- sion.
4. (1) Subject to the provisions of Article 3 of this Order, the Commission shall register a claim in respect of which they receive an application containing the information specified in Article 5(1) of this Order, if:-
(a) it is a claim in respect of property in the territory of which the person beneficially entitled thereto has subsequent to 1st October 1949 been deprived of the ownership or enjoyment by confiscation, nationalisa- tion, expropriation or dispossession, whether direct or indirect or through the application of governmental measures effectively causing dispossession; and
(b) the person who was beneficially entitled to the property at the date of the deprivation as aforesaid was a United Kingdom national at that date.
(2) For purposes of sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (1) of this Article, the Commission may, if they think fit, assume, without proof of any specific act of deprivation, that a person has been deprived of the ownership or enjoyment of the property by any act of the kind referred to in that sub-pargraph, if they are satisfied that he has lost the use or enjoyment of the property as a result of any action or course of conduct, on or after 1st October 1949, of the authorities of the area in which the property was situated.
5.-(1) An application made under Article 3 of this Order shall contain the following information:-
(a) the location and condition of the property, the date of deprivation and its value at that date and, in the case of a debt, the debtor his nationality and place of residence at the date of deprivation and at the date of the application insofar as such matters are known to the applicant; (b) the amount and source of any compensation or payment actually received in respect of the claim at any time, either by the applicant or by any other person;
(c) whether an application has been made to any other person, body or Government in respect of the claim, either by the applicant or by any other person.
(2) Where the applicant is unable to state the value of the property at the date of deprivation, the Commission may make such assessment of the value of the property at that date as seems just and equitable to them having regard to all the circumstances.
