When a question arises as to the title of the Crown to land in a case
of escheat or alleged escheat or of bona vacantia or alleged bona
vacantia, or in any other case in which an inquest of office might
have been held, the truth of the matter is to be ascertained as
prescribed in this Schedule.
2. Writ of inquisition
In the event of a question referred to in clause 1, a writ called a writ
of inquisition is to be issued from the Court on the fiat of a Law
Officer to the Local Court, and is to command the Local Court to
make diligent inquiry into the matter and to certify under his, her or
its hand and seal the facts respecting the failure of the heirs or next
of kin of an intestate, the alienage of a grantee or any other facts
that are necessary to establish whether the Crown has title to the
3. Return of writ
The writ of inquisition and the certificate of the Local Court is to be
returned to the Court as soon as reasonably possible, and any
person aggrieved by the certificate is entitled to traverse or object to
the writ or certificate in the manner and within the time provided by
the Supreme Court Rules 1987 or, if the Rules do not make
provision for the making of the objection, not later that 1 month after
the return of the writ.
4. Writ to be returned before new grant made
No grant of any land alleged to be escheated or to have become

certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.
Law of Property Act 2000 140
6. Saving
Proceedings on a writ of inquisition do not prejudice any rights
which, at the time of the death of the person that led to the issue of
the writ, were vested in some other person.
7. Procedure when waiver by the Crown
(1) If, at a time not later than 2 months after an instrument waiving the
title of the Crown to any property is made under section 20(3), a
person claiming an interest in or to the property requests that a writ
of inquisition in respect of the Crown's title be issued and gives
security to the satisfaction of a Law Officer for the costs of the issue
and execution of the writ, a writ may issue under this Schedule and
the instrument waiving the right of the Crown ceases to have effect
from the date the writ issues.
(2) If the title of the Crown to the property is established by a certificate
returned under clause 3 of this Schedule, a further instrument
waiving the right of the Crown may be made under section 20(3)
after the time for traversing the writ and certificate has expired, but
no further request for the issue of a writ may be made under this
clause.
(3) If an instrument is made under section 20(3) waiving the right of the
Crown to land, clause 1 is to be read subject to this clause with the
exception that a writ of inquisition at the instance of the Crown may
issue at any time.
8. Power to regulate procedure with respect to escheats to the
Crown
The Court may make rules prescribing and regulating the procedure
of the Court on and incidental to a writ of inquisition and
consequential on the holding of inquiries under the writ.
