MILITARY LANDS ACT 1892 - SECT 21

Power to enter on land to fix alignment marks.

21. Where the Secretary of State certifies that it is necessary for the
purposes of coast defence operations that alignment marks should be provided
in any places upon the coast, the following provisions shall apply for that
purpose:

(a)Any person authorised by the Secretary of State may, after seven days'
notice to the owner of the land, enter upon any land for the purpose of
erecting, repairing, or replacing such alignment marks, and may do all things
necessary for any such purpose, but shall do as little damage to the land as
possible.

(b)Full compensation shall be paid to the owner of the land for any damage
caused in or by the erection, repair, or replacement of such alignment marks,
and in case of dispute the amount of compensation shall be determined by
arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 1889.

(c)If any person refuses to permit any authorised person to enter upon any
land for the purpose of this section, or obstructs the erection, repair, or
replacing of any such alignment marks, or destroys, displaces, damages, or
obstructs, any such alignment marks, he shall be liable on summary conviction
to a fine not exceeding five pounds.
