Section 19: Nature of compensation

19. Nature of compensation (1) Subject to section 20, an interested person shall be entitled to compensation— (a) for loss sustained as a result of an act or omission under section 6; (b) for loss sustained as a result of abandonment under section 7; (c) for the value of his interest in land compulsorily acquired; (d) for loss sustained as a result of severance of other lands owned by him from the land compulsorily acquired; (e) for any other loss sustained as a result of the compulsory acquisition. (2) Where land is, and, but for compulsory acquisition, would continue to be, devoted to a purpose for which land is not readily available and the Board is satisfied that the interested person bona fide intends to continue to use land for that purpose in some other place compensation may be assessed on the basis of the cost of reinstating the interested person on other land. (3) The value of any interest in the land shall be the amount which that interest, if sold on the open market by a willing seller, might be expected to realise at the date of the first publication of the notice under section 8.
