Where it is shown to the Court with respect to the district in which any settled land is situate, either —
that it is the custom for land therein to be leased or granted for building or mining purposes for a longer term or on other conditions than the term or conditions specified in that behalf in this Law, or in perpetuity; or
that it is difficult to make leases or grants for building or mining purposes of land therein, except for a longer term or on other conditions than the term and conditions specified in that behalf in this Law, or except in perpetuity,
the Court may, if it thinks fit, authorise generally the tenant for life to make, from time to time, leases or grants of or affecting the settled land in that district, or parts thereof, for any term or in perpetuity, at fee-farm or other rents, secured by condition of re-entry, or otherwise, as in the order of the Court expressed, or may, if it thinks fit, authorise the tenant for life to make any such lease or grant in any particular case.
Thereupon the tenant for life, and, subject to any direction in the order of the Court to the contrary, each of his successors in title being a tenant for life, or having the powers of a tenant for life under this Law, may make in any case, or in the particular case, a lease or grant of or affecting the settled land, or part thereof, in conformity with the order.
