27. Moneys deposited under this act, or under any other provisions prior thereto to the same effect, which have not been claimed within a period of fifteen years from the date of their receipt, shall be paid into the consolidated revenue fund to form part thereof.
Nevertheless, any person who may be entitled to the delivery of such monies shall retain such right and may, at any time, upon establishing their claim, exact such delivery.
If payment has to be made of any portion of the monies paid into the consolidated revenue fund under this section, the Minister of Finance is authorized to make such payment out of the said fund.
