CAP. 125]
Determina- tion of rent of section not to affect remainder of lot.
Provisions where application is made by the owner of the remaining portion of a lot.
Procedure on deter- mination.
Crown Rents (Apportionment).
6. When a determined rent is fixed on the application of a section owner other than the owner of the remaining portion of a lot the proportions of the Crown rent payable in respect of other portions of the lot shall not be affected thereby.
7. When an application for the determination of the rent is made by the owner of the remaining portion of a lot and the Land Officer shall, in his discretion, decide to make such determination the following additional provisions shall apply-
(a) the Land Officer shall fix the determined rents for and in respect of each and every of the sections of the lot in like manner as if a separate request for determination had been made in respect of each and every of such sections;
(b) the owner of each and every section of the lot shall be bound by such determination in all respects as if he had made application therefor;
(c) all fees payable under this Ordinance for determina- tion and for any survey required by the Land Officer shall in respect of an application under this section be paid by the owner of the remaining portion of the lot, who shall, however, have a right of relief against the other section owners of the lot and shall be entitled to payment from each of them of the fee for registration and survey, applicable to the section of such section owner. A certificate, purporting to be under the hand of the Land Officer and setting forth the sum paid by the owner of the remaining portion in respect of such fees, shall, in any proceeding for recovery, be prima facie evidence of such payment.
8. (1) Every determination shall state the determined rent of every section to which it relates and when it does not relate to every section forming part of the lot shall state the Crown rent of the remainder of the lot as the same may be ascertained from the Land Office records.
(2) Every determination shall be signed by the Land Officer and shall be registered by him in the Land Office against every section in respect whereof the rent is deter- mined and also against the remaining portion of the lot.
