LAW OF PROPERTY ACT 1936 - SECT 72

72—Notice to interested parties

        (1)         Notice of every application for partition shall be served on all other parties interested in the property unless the court otherwise directs.

        (2)         Any party served with notice may attend the proceedings.

        (3)         The court may direct such inquiries as to the nature of the property and the persons interested therein and other matters as it thinks necessary or proper with a view to an order for partition or sale.

        (4)         If it appears to the court that notice of the application cannot be served on all parties interested in the property, or cannot be served without undue delay or expense disproportionate to the value of the property the court may dispense with the service of notice of the application on any person or class of person specified in the order dispensing with service.

        (5)         The court may direct advertisements to be published in such manner as the court thinks fit, calling on all persons interested to come in and establish their claims within a time limited by the advertisements.

        (6)         If an order is made by the court dispensing with service or for the publication of advertisements, all parties interested shall be bound by the proceedings in the application, whether they are within or without the jurisdiction of the court (including persons under any disability) as if they had been served with notice.
