Public Works Act 1981

Schedule 4: Notice requiring claim to be heard by Land Valuation Tribunal

You could also call this:

“Notice to ask a special court to look at your claim for money when your land was used for public works”

This notice is about asking for a Land Valuation Tribunal to hear your claim for compensation. You use this when you’ve made a claim for money because your land was taken or affected by public works, and you don’t agree with what the Minister of Lands or local authority has decided.

You need to fill out this form and send it to the Registrar of the District Court. You’ll need to include how much money you’re claiming, when you made the claim, and what happened when you sent it to the Minister or local authority. You should also mention if they refused your claim or offered you a different amount that you don’t want to accept.

By sending this notice, you’re telling the court that you want a Land Valuation Tribunal to look at your claim under the Public Works Act 1981. You need to sign the form and put the date and place where you’re filling it out.
