Part III Lands

16 Purchase of land

Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Company may purchase compulsorily and use such of the land delineated on the deposited plan and described in the deposited book of reference as it may require for the purposes of the works or any purpose connected therewith or ancillary thereto.

17 Purchase of rights over land

(1) In this section references to the purchase by the Company of new rights are references to the purchase of rights to be created in favour of the Company.

(2) The Company may, for the purposes of constructing, maintaining, altering, renewing and using the works or for the purpose of doing any other thing necessary in connection with the works, purchase compulsorily such new rights as it may require over any of the land delineated on the deposited plan and described in the deposited book of reference instead of purchasing that land under section 16 (Purchase of land) of this Act.

(3) The Act of 1965, as applied by this Act, shall have effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory purchase of new rights under subsection (2) above as it applies to the compulsory purchase of land so that, in appropriate contexts, references in the Act of 1965 to land are read as referring, or as including references, to the new rights or to land over which the new rights are, or are to be, exercisable, according to the requirements of the particular context.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3) above in relation to the purchase of new rights under subsection (2) above—

(a) Part I of the Act of 1965 shall have effect with the modifications specified in the Schedule to this Act;

(b) the enactments relating to compensation for the compulsory purchase of land shall apply with the necessary modifications as they apply to such compensation.

18 Time for purchase of land and rights over land

The powers of the Company for the compulsory purchase of land and rights over land under this Act shall cease on 31st December 1996.

19 Extinction of private rights of way

(1) All private rights of way over any land which may be purchased compulsorily under this Act shall be extinguished on the purchase of the land by the Company, whether compulsorily or by agreement, or on the entry on the land in pursuance of section 11 (1) of the Act of 1965, as applied by this Act, whichever is sooner.

(2) Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment of any right under this section shall be entitled to be paid by the Company compensation to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal.

20 Correction of errors in deposited plan and book of reference

(1) If the deposited plan or the deposited book of reference is inaccurate in its description of any land, or in its statement or description of the ownership or occupation of any land, the Company after giving not less than 10 days' notice to the owner, lessee and occupier of the land in question may apply to two justices having jurisdiction in the place where the land is situated for the correction thereof.

(2) If on any such application it appears to the justices that the misstatement or wrong description arose from mistake, the justices shall certify the fact accordingly and shall in their certificate state in what respect any matter is misstated or wrongly described.

(3) The certificate shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments, and a copy thereof in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons, and with the proper officer or chairman of a local authority with whom a copy of the deposited plan has been deposited in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Houses of Parliament, or who has the custody of any such copy so deposited; and thereupon the deposited plan and the deposited book of reference shall be deemed to be corrected according to the certificate, and it shall be lawful for the Company to take the land and execute the works in accordance with the certificate.

(4) A person with whom a copy of the certificate is deposited under this section shall keep it with the other documents to which it relates.
