Commentary on Sections Part 8: Compulsory Purchase Section 108: Loss payments: exclusions
143.Section 108 inserts a new section 33D into the Land Compensation Act 1973 which excludes entitlement to loss payments in certain situations. These are where an acquiring authority has exercised its compulsory purchase powers as a result of a failure to comply with the requirements of one of the notices specified in this section, or as a result of a person having had one of the specified orders served upon him. These notices and orders deal with the neglect of property. The purpose of this section is therefore to prevent those whose neglect has prompted a compulsory purchase order from benefiting from that neglect.
