  • 44 (1) In the case of a property that has been Crown granted under the Mineral Tenure Act, under an ordinance or Act affecting precious or base minerals, or under the Land Act or another statute providing for granting of land by the government, if the property so granted has become forfeited to and vested in the government under this Part and has not been sold or leased under this Part, and it is for any reason inconvenient and inadvisable to deal with the property under this Part, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may direct the Surveyor General to cancel the survey, field notes and official plan of survey of the property forfeited, and the property is then for all purposes deemed to be Crown land of British Columbia within the meaning of the Land Act, and that Act applies to that land and to its sale, lease or other alienation as if no grant of the land had ever been issued.
  • (2) The Surveyor General, when directed, must by notice in the Gazette cancel the survey, field notes and official plan of survey of the property forfeited, and must forward for registration a notice of the cancellation to the registrar of the land title district in which the land is located.
