PART VI
Payments Out of the Fund
24. - (1) The Commission shall make payments out of the Fund to every person who has registered a claim under Part III or
established a claim under Part V of this Order and who applies to
the Commission for payment.
(2) If any person who has so registered or established a claim shall have died before the amounts payable to him under
Articles 25 and 26 of this 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 payable under
this Order) do not exceed £1,500 in value, the Commission may, at
their discretion and subject to such conditions as the Commission
think proper, make such payment either to any person who has taken
out administration in any other part of the Commonwealth, 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 administration 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 so registered or
established is a minor at the date when the amounts payable to him
under Articles 25 and 26 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 £5,000, into the County Court for
the district in which the minor resides, under the provisions of the
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
