If, in any case —
there is a dispute as to any boundary, whether indicated to the Demarcator or demarcated or readjusted by him, which the Demarcator is unable to resolve; or
there are two or more claimants to any interest in land and the Records Officer is unable to effect agreement between them,
the Demarcator or the Records Officer, as the case may be, shall refer the matter to the Tribunal.
The Adjudicator shall adjudicate upon and determine any dispute referred to the Tribunal under subsection (1) having due regard to any law or local customs and conditions which may be applicable, and shall make and sign a brief record of the proceedings.
Parties affected or liable to be affected by an adjudication may be heard through their representatives who need not necessarily be persons admitted to practice law in the Islands.
