TELEGRAPH ACT 1892 - SECT 4

Telegraph lines constructed irregularly or by persons other than the Post Office.

4.(1) Where a telegraphic line of the [Post Office] has been constructed,
either before or after the passing of this Act, whether by [it] or a person
through whom [it] claims, and has been constructed independently of or without
compliance with the Telegraph Acts, 1863 and 1878, or this Act, any
road authority, owner, lessee, occupier or person whose consent would have
been required if the line had been constructed in accordance with the Acts,
and who is aggrieved, or who would, if the line had been constructed in
accordance with the Acts, be entitled to require its removal, may require the
removal of such line, but until the removal is required in pursuance of this
section the line shall be deemed to have been lawfully constructed: Provided,
that if and so far as the telegraphic line is constructed under or along a
street or public road, sections three, four, and five of the
Telegraph Act, 1878, shall apply as if the requisition to remove were a
failure to consent within the meaning of those sections

Subs.(2) rep. by 1969 c.48 s.137 sch.8 Pt.I
