Section 13: Vesting orders other than by Curator

13. Vesting orders other than by Curator (1) Where a person, other than the Curator, has reason to believe that a vacant estate exists in Mauritius, he may, by written notice, call upon the Curator to apply, not later than 21 days from the date of the notice, for a vesting order in relation to that estate. (2) The Curator may, on receipt of a notice under subsection (1), apply for a vesting order in relation to the estate specified in the notice. (3) Where the Curator fails to apply for a vesting order upon being called upon to do so by a notice under subsection (1), the person giving the notice may apply to a Judge for a summons calling the Curator to show cause why a vesting order should not be made and the Judge may, after hearing the parties, make an order, subject to such conditions as he thinks fit to impose, vesting the estate in the Curator.
