81 Cancellation of lease as regards resumed land
(1) A notification by the Minister and published in the Gazette that land
included in a lease has been resumed is conclusive evidence of the
fact and shall have effect to cancel the lease as regards the land
resumed, and to reduce the rent for the remainder of the land
proportionately to the extent of the resumption.
(2) Where a portion of the land included in a lease is resumed under
section 76 and the lease contains a covenant by the lessee to
comply with the requirements of the lease as to developmental
work and improvements, the Minister shall, within 28 days after the
notification referred to in subsection (1), review the requirements of
the lease having regard to the nature and area of the lands
remaining subject to the lease, determine the extent to which the
requirements shall be varied and give notice, in writing, of that
determination to the lessee.
(3) Where the Minister, under subsection (2), gives notice of a
determination to a lessee, the requirements of the lease as to
developmental work and improvements shall be taken to be varied:
(a) if the determination is varied under this Act – in accordance
with that determination as so finally varied; and
(b) in any other case – in accordance with the determination,
as from the date on which the determination is so varied or as from
the date of the determination, as the case may be.
