Loss of income and profits caused by relocation following compulsory acquisition is compensable as a 'financial cost' under s 59(f) of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW), and is not limited to out-of-pocket expenditure. The nature of the interest acquired (including a tenancy at will terminable on one month's notice) is relevant to market value but does not limit the period or quantum of disturbance compensation. Pre-Just Terms Act authorities treating disturbance as part of 'value to the owner' or 'special value' cannot control the construction of the Just Terms Act's separate disturbance provisions.
