Commentary on Sections and Schedules Miscellaneous and general Section 45: Compensation for injurious affection
121.Section 45 provides that section 10(1) of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, which deals with compensation for injurious affection, shall have effect, in respect of land injuriously affected by the Crossrail works, with the substitution of “nominated undertaker” for “acquiring authority”. This amendment is necessary because the compulsory purchase powers in the Act are vested in the Secretary of State, not the nominated undertaker, and so the nominated undertaker, who will be responsible for any injurious affection compensation, will not have been the acquiring authority.
