Part 2: Compulsory Purchase Etc Chapter 1: Temporary possession of land Section 22: Refusal to give up possession
This section applies the enforcement provisions in section 13 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 (where an owner or occupier of the land refuses to give up land to an acquiring authority) so that references in that Act to taking possession of land are taken to be references to taking temporary possession of land. This means that, where a person refuses to give up possession of the land, an acquiring authority can issue their warrant to a sheriff or enforcement officer to gain possession of the land on its behalf.
	This section extends and applies to England and Wales only.
