14 Authorized person, &c., to avoid damage to property
In exercising a power under section 13(1), an authorized person or volunteer shall cause as little detriment and inconvenience and do as little damage as possible to any property, either real or personal.
Where any damage is caused to any property by an authorized person or volunteer in the exercise of a power under section 13(1), compensation shall be paid by the Minister for that damage.
The amount of compensation payable under subsection (2) is to be determined in the same manner as a disputed claim for compensation under the Land Acquisition Act 1993.
