Section 27 Disposition versions

1977-12-31

27. No lot sold or otherwise granted for colonization purposes after the 19th of March, 1921, may, for six years from and after the date of the location ticket, be sold by the holder of the location ticket, nor otherwise alienated or transmitted, in whole or in part, except by donation in a marriage contract or by will, in favour of a relative within the order of succession, or by abintestate succession, or by will in favour of a consort, and in such case the donee, the legatee or heir shall be subject to the same prohibition as the original holder.

Every alienation or transmission of land held under location ticket, by donation in a marriage contract or by will in favour of a consort, prior to the 19th of March, 1921, shall be valid if it be not null or voidable for some other reason.

The Minister may, nevertheless, allow any other transfer or alienation within six years of the date of the location ticket, upon proof, to his satisfaction, that such transfer or alienation is in the best interests of colonization. The new holder shall be subject to the same prohibition as the original holder. Every transfer or alienation so authorized since the 1st of July, 1909, shall be valid.

Every transfer made in contravention of this section shall be null ab initio as between the parties, and shall entail the cancellation of the sale or grant of the lot.

The prohibition in this section shall not apply from and after the date of the issue of the letters patent when they are issued before the expiration of the six years.
