(1)Subject to sub-section (2), this Act shall bind the Crown to the full extent authorised by the constitutional laws of Northern Ireland and accordingly shall apply in relation to land in which there is a Crown or Duchy estate as it applies in relation to land in which there is no such estate.
(2)Section three of the Prescription Act, 1832, as modified by the preceding provisions of this Act, shall not by virtue of this section be construed as applying to any land to which (by reason that there is a Crown or Duchy estate therein) that section would not apply apart from this Act.
(3)In this section “Crown or Duchy estate” means an estate belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown or of the Duchy of Lancaster, or belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall, or belonging to a department of the government of Northern Ireland or of the government of the United Kingdom, or held in trust for Her Majesty for the purposes of a department of either such government.
