Subject to this section and without prejudice to section 23, where any goods (except perishable goods) in the custody and on the premises of the Authority are not removed therefrom within a period of fifteen days from the time of deposit, the Director shall cause a notice to be served on the owner or other person appearing to be entitled thereto, requiring that person to remove them.
Where —
the owner of any goods in the possession of the Authority is not known and no person appears to be entitled thereto;
the notice referred to in subsection (1) cannot for any reason be served; or
there has been no compliance with any such notice, the Director may, after the expiry of four weeks, sell the goods by public auction, provided seven days notice of the holding of such sale is published in the Gazette and in a local newspaper, listing the goods and showing the time and place of the auction.
Where goods mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (2) are perishable, the Director may deal with them at the Director's discretion, having regard to the possible entitlement of any person thereto.
