Section 4(2) of Cap.152 effectuates a deemed grant of new Crown leases commencing 1 July 1973; accordingly the plaintiff's cause of action in respect of possession accrued on that date and the actions brought on 10 June 1993 were within the 20-year limitation period of s7(2) Cap.347. Possessory claims of defendants did not qualify as preserved 'rights' under s4(4) and therefore do not defeat the plaintiff's title.
