ACQUISITION OF LAND (ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION) ACT 1919 - SECT 2

Rules for assessing compensation.

2. Compensation in respect of any compulsory acquisition of land shall,
subject to the provisions of this Act and any other enactment, be assessed in
accordance with the following rules:

(1)No allowance shall be made on account of the acquisition being compulsory:

(2)The value of land shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be taken to be
the amount which the land if sold in the open market by a willing seller might
be expected to realise:

(3)The special suitability or adaptability of the land for any purpose shall
not be taken into account if that purpose is a purpose to which it could be
applied only in pursuance of statutory powers, or for which there is no market
apart from the special needs of a particular purchaser or the requirements of
any authority authorised or capable of being authorised under any transferred
provision to acquire land compulsorily:

(4)Where the value of the land is increased by reason of the use thereof or of
any premises thereon in a manner which could be restrained by any court, or is
contrary to law, or is detrimental to the health of the occupants of the
premises or to the public health, the amount of that increase shall not be
taken into account:

(5)Where land is, and but for the compulsory acquisition would continue to be,
devoted to a purpose of such a nature that there is no general demand or
market for land for that purpose, the compensation may, where reinstatement in
some other place is bona fide intended, be assessed on the basis of the
reasonable cost of equivalent reinstatement:

(6)The provisions of rule (2) shall not affect the assessment of compensation
for disturbance or any other matter not directly based on the value of land.]
