Where a paper-owner appears to have died intestate without known close relatives, absent a pleaded basis showing surviving issues or prior notification to the Secretary for Justice, the court will not grant final declaratory relief affecting title; the appropriate course is to adjourn and require the claimant to notify the Secretary for Justice and file evidence of compliance before the matter is finally determined.
