24.This section allows for compensation payments to be made by the court out of central funds where it is satisfied that:
	a person has suffered financial loss as a result of a closure notice being issued or a closure order having effect;
	the person had no connection with the use of the premises subject to the notice or order for the supply, use or production of Class A drugs (such use having been associated with the occurrence of disorder or serious nuisance to the public);
	if he is the owner or occupier, that he took reasonable steps to prevent that use; and
	it is appropriate in all the circumstances to compensate the person for that loss.
Subsection (3) deals with the time within which an application for compensation must be made.
