1967 Ed.] Emergency (Principal) Regulations.
[CAP. 241
the commission of an offence against these regulations as it applies to property coming into the possession of the police in the circumstances mentioned in that section, and, in relation to any such article, shall have effect as if the reference in that section to the police included a reference to an executive authority (whether a police officer or not).
(10) For the purposes of this regulation, any proceedings shall be deemed not to have been finally determined so long as there is pending any appeal in the matter of the proceedings, and an appeal in that matter shall be deemed to be pending during the ordinary time within which such an appeal may be lodged, and if such an appeal is duly lodged, the appeal shall be deemed to be pending until it is decided or withdrawn.
(11) For the purposes of this regulation, any authority, police officer or other person whatsoever having functions in connexion with the execution of these regulations shall be deemed to be an executive authority.
(12) Nothing in this regulation shall be taken to prejudice any right to retain property which may exist in law apart from the provisions of this regulation.
90. (1) A competent authority may cause to be served upon the occupier of any premises a written notice (hereinafter referred to as "a billeting notice"), requiring the occupier of those premises to furnish therein, until further notice or during such period as may be specified in the billeting notice, according as that notice may direct, accommodation (by way of lodging or food or both, and either with or without attendance, according as the notice may direct) for such number of persons as may be so specified, being either persons in the service of the Crown or other persons in respect of whom the competent authority shall have received the direction of the Governor requiring that such accommodation shall be found for such other persons. Every billeting notice must, in order to be of any effect for the purposes of this regulation, define the persons for whom accommodation is required by the notice.
(2) The lodging or food to be furnished in accordance with a billeting notice, and the price to be paid in respect of any accommodation so furnished in any premises shall be such, and shall be paid to the occupier of the premises by such authority, as may be determined by order of the Governor.
(3) If the occupier of any premises feels aggrieved by the requirements of any billeting notice, he may, within fourteen days from the beginning of the day on which the notice is served on him, complain to a magistrate, and thereupon the magistrate, if satisfied that the furnishing of accommodation in accordance with the notice would otherwise impose an undue burden upon the occupier, may by order annul the notice or direct that it shall have effect subject to such modifications as may be specified in the order.
