Service on valuer-general
159 Service on valuer-general
The appellant must serve a copy of the valuation appeal notice on the valuer-general within 7 days after its filing.
A failure to comply with subsection (1) does not limit or otherwise affect the Land Court’s jurisdiction for the appeal.
However, if an adjournment is granted because of the failure, the Land Court may make any costs order it considers appropriate.
If the copy served is defective, but the notice filed is not, the Land Court may—
still hear and decide the appeal if satisfied the valuer-general was not disadvantaged by the defect; or
adjourn the hearing to ensure the valuer-general is not so disadvantaged and make an order in the valuer-general’s favour for the costs of the adjournment.
