WATER POLLUTION CONTROL (SEWERAGE) REGULATION - SECT 18

Reference to the Lands Tribunal

(1) If, after the expiry of 7 months after the receipt of a claim by the
Secretary, it has not been settled by agreement, either the claimant or the
Secretary may commence proceedings in the Lands Tribunal to have the claim, or
any part of it that is still then in dispute, heard and determined by it under
this Regulation.

(2) In any case where the claimant has failed to supply further particulars
requested by the Secretary in accordance with section 16, the Lands Tribunal
may on the hearing of the claim consider the merits of the Secretary's request
for further particulars and the claimant's failure to supply them and may, if
it thinks fit-

   (a)  order the claimant to supply some or all of the particulars;

   (b)  adjourn the hearing until the order is complied with and the
        particulars are considered by the Secretary; and

   (c)  make any further order it considers appropriate as to the costs of
        either party caused by the Secretary's request for and the claimant's
        failure to supply the further particulars. (Enacted 1994)
