LEGITIMACY ORDINANCE - SECT 7

Personal rights and obligations of legitimated persons

A legitimated person shall have the same rights, and shall be under the same
obligations in respect of the maintenance and support of himself or of any
other person as if he had been born legitimate, and, subject to the provisions
of this Ordinance, the provisions of any law relating to claims for damages,
compensation, allowance, benefit, or otherwise by or in respect of a
legitimate child shall apply in like manner in the case of a
legitimated person. [cf. 1926 c. 60 s. 6 U.K.]
