Commentary on Sections

Part 8: Compulsory Purchase

Sections 106-109: Loss payments

138.Sections 106 to 109 introduce a new statutory scheme in the Land Compensation Act 1973, which will operate in addition to the home loss scheme set out in that Act. It replaces the existing farm loss payments scheme. The new provisions allow for “loss payments” to be made to those who have a certain interest in property, but who are not entitled to receive home loss payments under the home loss scheme set out in sections 29 to 33 of the 1973 Act.
