21—Remedies for non-payment by councils
(1) The Treasurer may
by action in any court of competent jurisdiction recover any sum payable to
him under this Act by any council or by the Municipal Tramways Trust.
(2) If any such sum of
money due and payable by a council is not paid on the day on which it becomes
payable, the Governor may direct that the sum, or any part thereof, be
retained and paid to the Treasurer on behalf of the council out of any other
moneys payable by the Crown or any Minister thereof to the council, and the
said sum, or part thereof, shall be retained and paid accordingly.
