168. Valuation of property by receiver

Where any dispute as to salvage arises, the receiver may, on the application of either party, appoint a valuer to value the property, and shall give copies of the valuation to both parties.

Any copy of the valuation purporting to be signed by the valuer, and to be certified as a true copy by the receiver, shall be admissible as evidence in any subsequent proceedings.

Such fee as the Director directs shall be paid in respect of the valuation by the person applying for the valuation.
