PAYMENTS OUT OF THE FUND.
26. (1) The Commission shall make payments out of the Fund to every person who has established a claim under this Order and who applies to the Commission for payment.
(2) If any person who has established a claim under this Order shall have died before the amounts payable to him under Articles 27 and 28 of the Order have been paid to him, such payments or the balance thereof shall be made to his personal representatives if they apply to the Commission for payment, provided that, if the Commission are satisfied that no grant of administration of his estate has been made in the United Kingdom and that the assets of his estate (including the amount payabic under this Order) do not exceed £500 in valus, the Commission may, at their discretion and subject to such conditions as the Com- mission think proper, make such payment either to any person who has taken out administration in any other part of the Com- monwealth, or to the person who shall appear to the Commission to be the person who, being a widower, widow, child, father, mother, brother or sister of the deceased person, would, under the law of England. have the prior right to a grant of administra- tion of the estate of the deceased person if such deceased person had died intestate domiciled in England.
(3) If any person whose claim has been established under this Order is an infant at the date when the amounts payable to him under Articles 27 and 28 of this Order are due to be paid, the Commission may make payment thereof into the Supreme Court. or, if the amount thereof does not exceed £500, into the County Court for the district in which the infant resides, under the provi- sions of the Trustee Act 1925(a), or, if the amount does not exceed £50, may place the same on deposit in the name of the Commis- sion in any bank for such time as the person remains an infant.

of the claim bears to the total of the amounts assessed with respect to all claims established under the Order.
(2) The distributable amount shall be the total of all sums paid into the Fund, after the deduction of any payments made therefrom into the Consolidated Fund in accordance with any Order in Council made under section 7(2) of the Act of 1950 as originally enacted and as applied by section 3(3) of the Foreign Compensation Act 1962(a).
28. (1) Whether or not all claims under this Order against the Fund have been finally determined, the Commission may, at such time or times as they may decide, make from the Fund interim payments to any of the persons who bave established claims under the Order.
(2) Interim payments made under the provisions of this Article shall be made-
(a) on account of payments to be made in accordance with
Article 27 of this Order, and
(b) at a uniform rate upon the assessed amount of the claim. The uniform rate of payment shall be determined by the Commission; for this purpose the Commission shall estimate the total liability likely to fall upon the Fund.
(3) For the purposes of the present Article-
(a) a claim shall be deemed to be established under this Order even though the determination thereof may be provisional and subject to review under the Rules of the Commission;
(6) the assessed amount of the claim shall be deemed to be the amount so provisionally determined subject to review unless before the date of payment the Commission shall have made a final determination on review.
29. (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this Article, the Commission shall, as a condition of the making of any payment to any person under this Order, require him to surrender to the Commission all available documents of title, if any, relating exclusively to the claim to which the payment relates and shall require him to sign and deliver to the Commission a document in such form as the Commission may determine declar- ing that he renounces all those claims which he has established under the Order.
