61A—Objections against assessments

        (1)         Subject to this section, any person interested may within twenty-one days from the date of any assessment of the commissioner lodge with the Treasurer a notice of objection to that assessment.

        (2)         Every such notice shall state the grounds on which the objector objects to the assessment and such grounds may be matters of law or fact.

        (3)         The Treasurer after obtaining the opinion of the Crown Solicitor and making such other inquiries and obtaining such other information and advice as he deems proper shall decide every such objection and may confirm or modify the assessment.

        (4)         In deciding an objection the Treasurer shall not be bound by any rules of practice, procedure or evidence.

        (5)         No appeal against an assessment shall be heard between the time when a notice of objection is lodged and the time when the objection is decided under this section unless the notice of objection is withdrawn.

        (6)         When a notice of objection has been lodged, the time within which an appeal may be made under the regulations shall be computed from the day on which the Treasurer's decision on the objection is communicated to the objector.

        (7)         Except as provided in subsections (5) and (6) of this section the lodging of a notice of objection shall not affect any right of appeal or the hearing of any appeal.
