Section 27
Treasury to pay lawful claimant
If any claimant makes any demand against the Treasury for any unclaimed surplus paid to the Consolidated Trust Account pursuant to section 26, the Treasury upon being satisfied that the claimant is the owner of the surplus, shall authorize payment thereof to be made to him out of the Consolidated Trust Account or, if the unclaimed money had been paid into the Consolidated
Revenue Account, the Minister of Finance may direct payment of a like amount to be made to him; and such amount shall be charged upon the Consolidated Fund and be payable out of the Consolidated
Revenue Account.
(2)
Where any unclaimed surplus paid to any claimant is afterwards claimed by any other person, that other person shall not be entitled to the payment thereof but may have recourse against the claimant to whom the surplus has been paid.
