Notice requiring purchase of claimant's interest.

3.(1) Where the whole or part of a hereditament [or agricultural unit] is

that

(a)he is entitled to an interest in that hereditament [or agricultural unit]
which qualifies for protection under this Part, and

was, or was likely to be, comprised in land of any of the

his interest in part of the hereditament [or agricultural unit]; or

(b)if he is entitled to an interest only in part of a hereditament [or
agricultural unit], to make any claim or serve a blight notice in respect of
his interest in less than the entirety of that part.
