COLONIAL STOCK ACT 1877 - SECT 20

Jurisdiction of courts as to colonial stock.

20. In any legal proceeding in a court in the United Kingdom in relation to
the register of colonial stock to which this Act applies, or to an entry in or
omission from such register, or to a right or title to or interest in any such
colonial stock, or any dividend thereon, the jurisdiction of such court shall
not be objected to on the ground only that the registrar is the agent of a
colonial government, and the registrar, whether a party or not to such
proceeding, shall comply with any order made by such court in relation to the
matters aforesaid.

Any person claiming to be interested in colonial stock to which this Act
applies, or in any dividend thereon, may present a petition of right in
England in relation to such stock or dividend, and the like proceedings may be
had upon such petition as in the case of any other petition of right, subject
to this qualification, that the certificate of the judgment decree rule or
order of the court may be left with the registrar instead of with the
Treasury, and such judgment decree rule or order shall be complied with by the
registrar or other agent of the colonial government having possession in
England of moneys of such government instead of by the Treasury.

S.21 rep. by 1969 c.16 (NI) s.31(2) sch.3 Pt.II
