19. Whether Article 29 or Article 49 applies depends on the view taken of the scope and meaning of these two Articles. The learned Chief Justice takes the view that Article 29 is not restricted in its, application to cases of consequential damage, but applies also to the case where the value of the property itself is sought to be recovered. He further holds that the distinction between Article 29 and Article 49 is that the former Article applies to a case of wrongful seizure made under legal process, whereas the latter applies when the wrongful seizure is made by a private person.
