Surrenders of Land to Crown
53. 476 Deeds of Surrender comprising 655 lots or sections of lots were prepared and put through by the Land Office. Most of these sur- renders were required in connexion with exchanges negotiated by Govern- ment for public purposes and with regrants of land. Many of the remaining surrenders were free surrenders of portions of scavenging lanes being taken over by Government. Only in a relatively small number of cases, mostly having to do with street widening, was anything paid by Govern- ment for the surrender. The total amount paid in 1964-65 was sharply up at $2,762,505.05 as compared with $625,888 in 1963–64.
Re-entries upon land by Crown
54. Under the provisions of the Crown Rights (Re-entry) Ordinance, land may be re-entered upon by the Crown for the breach of any covenant in the Crown Lease thereof, or for the breach of any condition or stipula- tion of any tenancy thereof, by the registration in the Land Office of a Memorial of Re-entry signed by an officer duly authorized by the Governor. The land is thereupon re-vested in the Crown, but the lessee may petition the Supreme Court, or the Governor in Council, for relief against forfeiture.
55. During 1964-65, a total of twelve urban lots were re-entered upon by the Crown and six petitions for relief against re-entry on urban lots were made to the Governor in Council. Of these petitions, two were rejected and four approved subject to the former lessees complying with certain conditions. Details of some of the interesting cases follow.
