Neither section 63 of the Paisley Improvement Act 1877 (c.cxlix) (Corporation to retain and ultimately lay out the racecourse land as a public park) nor any relevant restriction shall prevent the authorised undertaker acquiring under this Act such interest or rights as it requires for the purpose of the authorised works in land to which that section applies, and that section shall—

a

cease to have effect in respect of so much of that land as is so acquired;

b

not apply to any part of that land which is temporarily occupied or used by the authorised undertaker under this Act for the purpose of constructing or maintaining the authorised works during the period in which it is so occupied or used.
