COMPULSORY PURCHASE AREA

Members practising in the Dublin area ought to

be aware of the procedure adopted by the Local

Authority in acquiring premises by compulsory

purchase order.

The acquiring Authority on compulsory acqui

sition are obliged to pay compensation for the

disturbance and expense of the vendor as

the

result of the threat of compulsory acquisition in

addition to paying his costs of deducing title.

The costs of negotiating prices and valuer's fees

are included in the disturbance costs. This does

not arise in the case of voluntary sale for the

vendor offers

the property for his own con

Corporation the vendor's rights depend entirely

on the contract and if he fails to provide it the

Corporation pay his solicitor's costs and valuer's

fees he will recover nothing except the agreed

price.

is taken, without a hearing, by a single member

of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board,

and the case comes to a hearing before three other
