Temporary occupation
24 Temporary occupation
For the purposes of this Act, a person authorised in writing by the
Board may occupy and use any land constituting or forming part of the coast and may carry out upon that land any works authorised by this
Act.
The Board shall, at least seven days before private land is occupied pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, serve upon the occupier of the land, or if there is no occupier, upon the owner of the land, notice of its intention to exercise its powers of temporary occupation in relation to the land.
A person interested in the land may apply to the Court for an order that the authority acquire his interest in the land.
The Court, if satisfied that it is just to do so, may order the
Board to acquire the interest upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Court, and may make such incidental or consequential orders as the Court thinks fit.
An authorisation of the Board under subsection (1) is not transferable.
