within 60 days after the date of the publication of the notice in the Gazette, serve upon the Director an application in writing, specifying the nature of such interest and the manner in which such person considers the plan to be incorrect and sufficient indication of the grounds for such consideration and requesting that the plan be corrected accordingly.
18. (1) Upon the expiration of the period specified under section 17, the Director shall consider such applications as may have been received by him pursuant to that section.
(2) After consideration of such applications, or where no such applications are received by him, the Director may allow the plan to stand unamended or amend it in such manner as he thinks fit, and thereafter shall cause a notice to be published approving the plan, either in the same form as that in which it was made available to the public under section 17, or as amended in accordance with this subsection and specifying the manner in which the same has been amended.
19. (1) Any person claiming to have an interest in any land comprised in the plan as approved under section 18(2) and who considers that the plan is incorrect in any manner prejudicial to such interest may, within 30 days after the publication under that section of the notice in the Gazette, apply to the District Court for an order directing the Director to amend the plan in the manner specified in the application or in such other manner as the Court may think just.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Crown Proceedings Ordinance, the Director shall be named as defendant in any application made under subsection (1), and the Court may, of its own motion or on application made to it, in addition cause to be joined as co-defendant any person who it appears may be affected by any order which may be made directing the amendment of the plan.
(3) An application to the District Court under this section shall be instituted by an originating summons and shall for all purposes relating to costs and fees be deemed to be an action in respect of which the value of the claim exceeds $500 but does not exceed $2,000.
20. Where an application is made under section 19, the District Court, having heard the representations of the parties and any evidence adduced by them may, if it thinks fit, order the Director to amend the plan as approved under section 18(2), in such manner as the Court may think just.
21. Any party to an application made under section 19 who is aggrieved by a decision of the District Court under section 20 may appeal against such decision within 14 days after the making thereof to a judge, who may confirm, reverse or vary the decision of the District Court, and the decision of the judge on any such appeal shall be final.
