Recovery of compensation.37.—Where any money agreed or awarded or ordered on appeal to be paid for compensation, costs, or otherwise, is not paid within fourteen days after the time when it is agreed or awarded or ordered to be paid, it shall be recoverable, upon order made by the judge of the county court, as money ordered by a county court under its ordinary jurisdiction to be paid is recoverable.
REMARKS.
Notice of claim.For this notice see Appendix A, Form IV. It is most important that this notice be given, for in Sec. 20 it is expressly stated that the tenant shall not be entitled unless he give such notice.
Landlord's power to give notice of claim.The landlord, it would seem, has no power to give notice of claim until he has received one from the tenant.
Definition of Tenant.In the definition tenant, the word "tenant" includes assigns. An assignee of the tenant can therefore give notice and claim compensation.
Time at which claim is to be made.The tenant on assigning his term must arrange with his assignee what amount such made assignee shall pay for unexhausted improvements, otherwise he must wait till the determination of his tenancy; for, unless by agreement with his landlord, the tenant is unable to get compensation before such determination.
