No compensation for acquisition of land for underground rail facilities
2 No compensation for acquisition of land for underground rail facilities
If land under the surface is compulsorily acquired under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 for the purpose of underground rail facilities, compensation is not payable under that Act unless—
the surface of the overlying soil is disturbed, or
the support of that surface is destroyed or injuriously affected by the construction of those facilities, or
any mines or underground working in or adjacent to the land are thereby rendered unworkable or are injuriously affected.
Section 62(2) of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 does not apply to the compulsory acquisition of land under that Act for the purpose of underground rail facilities.
Expressions used in this clause have the same meaning as in the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991.
This clause extends to the acquisition of land for the purpose of underground rail facilities before the commencement of this clause, but not so as to affect any payment or award of compensation made before that commencement.
