Publication of list of moneys unclaimed for six months

(1) The Public Trustee shall, in the months of February and August in each year, prepare and publish a list of all moneys in his hands which have been unclaimed for six months and upwards, and shall publish therewith a notice calling on all persons desiring to claim any of those moneys to establish their claim within five years from the date when the moneys came into the hands of the Public Trustee, and that date shall be expressed and set forth in the notice. (2) If no claim to any of the moneys is made and established within the time specified, they shall be paid to the Financial Secretary. (3) All moneys so paid over by the Public Trustee to the Financial Secretary shall be paid into the Consolidated Revenue Fund and any right, title and interest of every person in and to them shall be barred. (4) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as in any way affecting the power of the National Assembly to authorise the payment of any sum of money paid over to the Financial Secretary under this Act to any person whom it may consider to have a moral claim thereto, notwithstanding that all claims to payment of the money may be barred in law.
