Schedule 1: The electronic communications code Part 14: Compensation under the code
Part 14 contains general provision about compensation.
	Paragraph 84 makes provision about the powers of the court to order compensation in relation to agreements imposed under Part 4 and in relation to the removal of apparatus under Part 6.
	Paragraph 84(2) enables the court to order compensation for reasonable legal and valuation costs incurred by a landowner. This is because the landowner’s reasonable costs in obtaining legal and / or valuation advice are part of the cost to a landowner of agreeing (or being ordered by the court) to have apparatus installed on their land. This provision does not however interfere with the court’s discretion to award costs that relate to a dispute about code rights. Paragraph 84(7) provides that compensation cannot exceed actual loss.
	Paragraph 85 makes general provision for the application of established statutory rules for the assessment of rights to compensation for injurious affection to neighbouring land where rights under Parts 2 to 9 are exercised.
	Paragraph 86 provides that no other rights to compensation arise in relation to the lawful exercise of code rights other than as provided by the code.
