MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 526

Notice of unclaimed wreck to be given to persons entitled.

526.(1) Where any dispute arises between any such admiral, vice-admiral, lord
of a manor, heritable proprietor, or other person as aforesaid and the
receiver respecting title to wreck found at any place, or, where more persons
than one claim title to that wreck and a dispute arises between them as to
that title, that dispute may be referred and determined in the same manner as
if it were a dispute as to salvage to be determined summarily under this Part
of this Act.

(2) If any party to the dispute is unwilling to have the same so referred and
determined, or is dissatisfied with the decision on that determination, he may
within three months after the expiration of a year from the time when the
wreck has come into the receiver's hands, or from the date of the decision, as
the case may be, take proceedings in any court having jurisdiction in the
matter for establishing his title.
