RAILWAY AND CANAL TRAFFIC (AMENDMENT) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1930 - SECT 5

Provisions as to existing proceedings and awards.

5.(1) Any agreement made before the sixteenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and thirty, in any legal proceedings in connection with a proposal to grant a
warrant authorising the abandonment of an unnecessary canal under the
principal enactment, and any regulations made, inquiry held or other
proceedings taken by, or under the direction of, the Ministry of Commerce
before the said day in connection with any such proposal, shall be deemed to
have been duly made, held or taken under the authority of the principal
enactment as amended by this Act.

Any award made by an arbitrator appointed before the said day under
regulations of the Ministry of Commerce to determine compensation under
paragraph (d) of sub-section (2) of the principal enactment, as originally
enacted, shall have the like effect as if made under this Act.

(2) Where, in pursuance of an award to which sub-section (1) of this section
applies, compensation is payable to any persons by the proprietors of an
unnecessary canal by reason of the abandonment thereof, the order of release
made in respect of the canal may provide, if the Ministry of Finance consents,
that the whole or part of any sum payable by the said proprietors to that
Ministry under a local or personal Act passed before the passing of this Act
shall, instead of being paid to the Ministry of Finance, be applied in payment
of compensation as aforesaid.
