Public Works Act 1981

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

You could also call this:

"Notice to Have Your Claim Heard by a Tribunal"

You are making a claim for money because some land you are interested in has been taken or damaged. You sent this claim to the Minister of Lands or your local authority, but they do not agree with you. You can ask for your claim to be heard by a Land Valuation Tribunal, which is a group that decides how much money you should get. You need to fill out a notice that says you want the tribunal to hear your claim, and you need to include a copy of your original claim. You have to send this notice to the Registrar of the District Court. The notice has to say why you are making the claim and how much money you are asking for. It also has to say that the Minister of Lands or your local authority does not agree with your claim. You have to sign the notice and say where and when you signed it, as stated in section 84 of the Public Works Act 1981.
