\f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid6639487\charrsid14489112 The applicat
ion now before me deals with the Occupation Order as if it were an interest in land which could pass on transfer or succession and therefore have, in effect, perpetual currency. This would be completely contrary to the spirit of the Cook Islands Act 1915,
 
contrary to the consents given and contrary to the true intent of the Order made. The interest, if it can pass on succession, would be of longer currency than a lease and would become, in effect, a Vesting Order. That is not the intention of s 50 of the C
ook Islands Amendment Act 1946, or the intent of the Order.

The application is dismissed. All is not lost for the applicant who should consider obtaining a fresh majority of expression of wishes from the owners and apply for a fresh Occupation Order.
