Clause 42

Any property or materials seized by the Building Authority in the exercise of his powers under this Act may be forfeited to the Government and sold or otherwise disposed of by the Building Authority unless a claim is made by the person to whom the property or materials belong within two weeks of the seizure in which case the property or materials may be returned to the person on such terms and conditions as the Building Authority may impose.

Where the Building Authority sells any property or materials under subsection (1) (other than property or materials seized under section 30), the Building Authority shall pay the proceeds of the sale to the owner to whom the property or materials belonged after deducting the amount of any expenses recoverable by the Building Authority from him.
