The court held that s4(2) Cap.152 operated to create a new Crown lease commencing 1 July 1973 and vested in the plaintiff; the plaintiff's right of action therefore first accrued on that date, the defendants' possessory claims did not fall within s4(4) as rights preserved against the new lease, and consequently the plaintiff's actions commenced 10 June 1993 were within the 20-year period of s7(2) Cap.347 and not statute-barred.
