thereof.
(2) If there is a
mortgage or sublease registered against the lease so forfeited or determined,
the Registrar shall serve the mortgagee or sublessee with 30 days’

sublessee may carry out the conditions of the lease and apply to the Minister
for Lands to waive the forfeiture.
(3) The Minister for
Lands may, by notice to the Registrar, allow a longer period than 30 days.
(4) Unless the

then at the expiration of such days or such longer period as the Minister for
Lands shall allow, such forfeiture and determination shall become absolute.
