Where any dispute as to salvage arises, the receiver may, on the application of either party, appoint a valuer to value the property.

When the valuation has been made the receiver shall give copies of it to both parties.

A copy of the valuation purporting to be signed by the valuer, and to be certified as a true copy by the receiver, shall be admissible as evidence in any subsequent proceedings.

There shall be paid in respect of the valuation by the person applying for it such fee as the Secretary of State may direct.
