Deposit of money when refused on tender under section 72S. 73(1) amended
by No. 46/1998
s. 7(Sch. 1).
(1) If a mortgagee fails—
(a) to convey or release to the Authority, or as it directs, the interest in the part of land in respect of which the value or compensation has been paid or tendered under section 72; or
(b) to adduce good title in respect of that interest to the Authority's satisfaction—
the Authority may pay the amount of that value or compensation to the credit of the Trust Fund to be dealt with by the Minister administering Part 7 of the Financial Management Act 1994 in the manner provided in this Act.
(2) A payment under subsection (1)—
(a) must be accepted by the mortgagee in satisfaction of the mortgage debt so far as that payment will extend; and
(b) is a full discharge of the part of the mortgaged interest so required from all money due thereon.
(3) The Authority, if it thinks fit, may execute and register a deed poll in the manner provided in section 69(2) and (3).
(4) Upon the registration of the deed poll the interest of the mortgagee and of all persons in trust for the mortgagee or for whom the mortgagee may be trustee in the land required is vested in the Authority.
(5) Despite subsection (4), the mortgagee has the
same powers and remedies for recovering or compelling payment of the mortgage
money or the residue thereof (as the case may be) and the interest thereof
respectively upon and out of the residue of the mortgaged interest which is
not required for the purposes of the special Act, as the mortgagee would
otherwise have had or been entitled to for recovering or compelling payment
thereof upon or out of the interest in the whole of the land originally
comprised in the mortgage.
