LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1934 - SECT 48
Short title, construction and citation.

48.(1) This Act may be cited as the Local Government Act (Northern
Ireland), 1934.

(2) This Act shall be construed as one with the Local Government
Acts (Northern Ireland), 1898 to 1929, and those Acts and this Act
may be cited together as the Local Government Acts (Northern
Ireland), 1898 to 1934.

First Schedule rep. by 1948 c.28 (NI) s.43(2) sch.71. The local
authority, where they propose to acquire land otherwise than by
agreement, may submit to the Ministry of Home Affairs an application
in the prescribed form for an order vesting in the local authority
the land specified in the application.

2. Notice of the application shall be published by the local
authority in the prescribed manner, and such notice shall be given
both in the locality in which the land is proposed to be acquired
and to the [persons appearing to the local authority to have
interests in] that land as may be prescribed.

Notice of the application shall also be given to such Government
departments as may be prescribed.

3. On the expiration of one month after the publication of the
notice of the application, the Ministry of Home Affairs, after
considering all objections to the application which may have been
presented to the said Ministry by persons interested in the land
specified in the application, and after causing a local inquiry to
be held (if the said Ministry thinks it necessary to do so) as to
the propriety of making the order applied for, may make an order
vesting in the local authority the said land, or so much thereof,
as the said Ministry thinks proper.

If a local inquiry is held as aforesaid, the local authority and
all persons interested in the land, and such other persons as the
person holding the inquiry in his discretion thinks fit to allow,
shall be permitted to appear and to be heard at the inquiry, and
before making the order, the Ministry of Home Affairs shall consider
the report of the person who held the inquiry, and all objections
made thereat.

4. The order shall contain such provisions as the Ministry of Home
Affairs thinks necessary for the purpose of carrying the order into
effect, and may provide for the suspension of the operation of the
order, or any part thereof, until the local authority have paid, or
made provision to the satisfaction of the said Ministry for the
payment of, compensation to persons interested in the land to which
the order relates, or in land injuriously affected by the works
proposed to be carried out by the local authority.

An order made by the Ministry of Home Affairs as aforesaid is in
this Schedule referred to as a "vesting order."

5. Notice of a vesting order which has become operative shall be
given to such Government departments (including the Ministry of
Finance) as may be prescribed.

6. A vesting order shall be effectual to pass and vest in the
local authority, as from the date on which the vesting order
becomes operative (in this Schedule referred to as "the date of
vesting"), an estate in fee simple in the land to which it
relates, discharged from all claims, estates, incumbrances or charges
whatsoever, or (if the case so requires) such easement or right as
the vesting order may specify; and the rights and claims of all
persons in respect of such land or any interest therein shall, as
from the date of vesting, be transferred and attached, to the
extent to which compensation may be payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Schedule, to the rate or fund out of which the
expenses of the local authority in acquiring the land are to be
defrayed (in this Schedule referred to as "the compensation fund"),
and shall be discharged by payments out of the compensation fund.

In so far as a vesting order relates to land, the ownership of
which is registered under the Local Registration of Title (Ireland)
Act, 1891, the date of vesting shall, notwithstanding anything in
the foregoing provisions of this article, be either the date on
which the vesting order becomes operative, or the date of the
lodgment of the vesting order with the registering authority under
the said Act, whichever is the later.

7. A vesting order, or the title created by a vesting order (if
it relates to land the ownership of which is registered as
aforesaid), shall, forthwith upon production of such vesting order,
be registered in the proper office for the registration of deeds or
titles, as the case requires.

8. Where a vesting order relates to any land forming part of a
holding which is subject to the future payment of an annuity under
the Land Purchase Acts, it shall not be necessary for any consent
or authority for the sub-division of the holding to be given under
any enactment of those Acts.

9. On and after the date of vesting, the local authority may enter
upon and use the land to which the vesting order relates.

10.(1) As soon as a vesting order has become operative, any
question of disputed compensation arising between the local authority
and any person interested in any land to which the vesting order
relates, or land injuriously affected by the works proposed to be
carried out by the local authority, shall be referred to and
determined by [the Lands Tribunal for Northern Ireland (in this
Schedule referred to as "the Lands Tribunal")].

(2) Where a vesting order relates to any land forming part of a
holding which is subject to the future payment of an annuity under
the Land Purchase Acts, an agreement for the payment of compensation
by the local authority to any person interested in such land shall
not have effect unless

(a)the prescribed notice of the proposed agreement has been given to
the Ministry of Finance, and

(b)the prescribed period has elapsed.

If within the prescribed period the said Ministry notifies the local
authority of its intention to bring before [the Lands Tribunal] any
question with respect to the apportionment or redemption of the
annuity, such agreement as aforesaid shall not have effect pending
the decision of [the Lands Tribunal], and a question of disputed
compensation shall be deemed to have arisen for the purposes of
this Schedule.

11.(1) [Where any question of disputed compensation arises, the local
authority shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,] cause to be
made out, and to be signed by their clerk or some other principal
officer appointed by them maps and schedules of any lands to which
the vesting order relates and lands injuriously affected by the
works proposed to be carried out by the local authority (in this
Schedule referred to as "the scheduled lands"), together with the
names, so far as the same can be reasonably ascertained, of all
persons who immediately prior to the making of the vesting order
were interested in such lands as owners or reputed owners, lessees
or reputed lessees, or occupiers.

(2) The maps made by the local authority shall be upon such scale
and be framed in such manner as is hereinafter set forth, that is
to say

(a)The maps shall be upon a scale of not less than one inch to
every two hundred and twenty feet, and unless the whole of such
maps shall be upon a scale of not less than one inch to every
hundred feet an enlarged plan shall be added of any building, yard
or garden upon a scale of not less than one inch to every hundred
feet;

(b)Each field, enclosure, road, passage, house or building to which
the vesting order relates, whether wholly or in part, shall be
clearly shown on the maps, with the fences of the lands abutting
thereon accurately indicated, and with the areas acquired marked in
acres, roods, and perches, statute measure, and clearly defined by
boundaries;

(c)Each separate parcel of land or property of any kind shall be
indicated and marked on the maps by a distinctive number
corresponding to a number assigned to such property in the schedule
of the scheduled lands;

(d)The maps shall show the names of the townlands, electoral
divisions, county districts and counties in which the scheduled lands
are situated, and all townland boundaries so far as they intersect
or closely adjoin the scheduled lands;

(e)The scale of each map shall be clearly marked thereon and the
points of the compass and a portion of any closely adjoining street
or road shown, with the name thereof, or with words indicating the
towns or villages to or from which the street or road leads.

(3) The local authority shall deposit such maps and schedules [with
the appropriate officer of the Lands Tribunal] and shall deposit and
keep copies of such maps and schedules at the office of the local
authority [and the local authority shall publish once in each of
three successive weeks a notice stating that such documents have
been deposited and the times and place at which copies of them may
be inspected by any person desiring to inspect them.]

Para.12 rep. by 1964 c.29 (NI) s.21 sch.3

13.(1) [The Lands Tribunal] shall have the same power of
apportioning any rent-service, rent-charge, chief, or other rent,
payment, or incumbrance, or any rent payable in respect of lands
comprised in a lease, as two justices have under the Lands Clauses
Consolidation Act, 1845.

(2) [The Lands Tribunal] in fixing the amount of compensation to be
awarded may in the case of the severance of any house, building or
manufactory, have regard to and take into account any loss or
damage which has been occasioned by or may ensue from such
severance and award compensation therefor in addition to the value
of the part of the premises taken by the local authority.

(3) Subject to the provisions of article twenty of this Schedule,
the amount of purchase money or compensation to be paid in
pursuance of section one hundred and twenty-four of the Lands
Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, in respect of any estate, right, or
interest in or charge affecting any of the scheduled lands which
the local authority have through mistake or inadvertence failed or
omitted duly to purchase or make compensation for, shall be awarded
by [the Lands Tribunal], and be paid, in like manner, as near as
may be, as the same would have been awarded and paid if the claim
of such estate, right, interest, or charge had been delivered to
[the Lands Tribunal] before the day fixed for the delivery of
statements of claims.

If [the Lands Tribunal] is satisfied that the failure or omission
to purchase the said estate, right, interest, or charge, arose from
any default on the part either of the claimant or of the local
authority, [the Lands Tribunal] may direct the costs to be paid by
the party so in default.

(4) In determining the amount of any disputed compensation [the
Lands Tribunal] shall have regard to the extent to which any
remaining and contiguous lands and hereditaments, belonging to the
same proprietor, may be benefited by the proposed work for which
the land, to which the vesting order relates, is acquired by the
local authority.

(5) In determining the amount of any disputed compensation, [the
Lands Tribunal] shall not award any sum of money for or in respect
of any improvement or alteration made, or building erected, after
the date of the giving by the local authority of the notice
prescribed for the purposes of article two of this Schedule, if, in
the opinion of [the Lands Tribunal], the improvement, alteration or
building, in respect of which the claim is made, was made or
erected with a view to obtaining or increasing compensation; nor, in
the case of any estate or interest created after the said date in
any land to which the vesting order relates, shall any sum of
money be awarded so as to increase the total amount of compensation
which would otherwise have been required to be paid in respect of
the acquisition of such lands.

15. ... all costs, charges, and expenses (if any) which may be
incurred by the Ministry of Home Affairs in carrying the provisions
of this Schedule into execution, shall, after the amount thereof
shall have been certified under this article, be paid by the local
authority. The amount of such..., costs, charges, and expenses shall
from time to time be certified by the said Ministry after first
hearing any objections that may be made to the reasonableness of
any such..., costs, charges and expenses by or on behalf of the
local authority; and every certificate of the said Ministry
certifying the amount of such fees, costs, charges, and expenses
shall be taken as proof in all proceedings at law or in equity of
the amount of such respective..., costs, charges, and expenses, and
the amount so certified shall be a debt due from the local
authority to the Crown, and shall be recoverable accordingly.

Further, any such certificate may be made a rule of the High Court
on the application of any party named therein, and may be enforced
accordingly.

16. When the amount of the compensation has been determined by [the
Lands Tribunal], the local authority shall publish in each of two
successive weeks, in some newspaper or newspapers circulating in the
locality where the land acquired is situate, a notice requiring all
persons claiming any interest therein to deliver to the local
authority on or before a day to be named in such notice (such day
not being earlier than twenty-one days from the date of the second
publication of the notice) a short statement in writing of the
nature of such claim and a short abstract of the title on which
the same is founded.

17. Within thirty days from the delivery of such statement and
abstract, the local authority shall, where it appears to them that
any person so claiming is absolutely entitled to the interest in
the compensation fund claimed by him, pay to such person the
compensation to which he is entitled, on obtaining from him a
receipt for the same in the prescribed form.

18.(1) The local authority, before paying out of the compensation
fund to any person any compensation (whether the amount thereof has
been settled by agreement or determined by [the Lands Tribunal])
shall obtain from that person a receipt in the prescribed form
which shall be prepared by, and executed at the cost of, the local
authority, and such receipt shall operate to release the compensation
fund from all claims by the person giving it and all parties
claiming through or under him.

(2) The local authority shall pay the costs of furnishing any
statement, abstract or other evidence of title required by them to
be furnished by any person claiming any interest in the compensation
fund.

19.(1) Where the compensation payable (whether the amount thereof has
been settled by agreement or determined by [the Lands Tribunal]) to
any person claiming any interest in the compensation fund does not
exceed the sum of one hundred pounds, and the claimant makes a
statutory declaration in the prescribed form stating whether he
claims as absolute or as limited owner, and gives prima facie
evidence which satisfies the local authority that for not less than
six years immediately preceding he, or his immediate predecessor in
title, has been personally or by an agent in receipt of the rents
or profits of the land in respect of which compensation is payable,
or in actual occupation thereof, the local authority may pay to the
person claiming as absolute owner the compensation payable for the
interest in respect of which he claims, and, in the case of a
person claiming as limited owner of the interest in respect of
which he claims, the local authority may pay the compensation
payable for that interest to the trustees of the settlement under
which such limited owner claims, or, where there are no such
trustees, may pay such compensation into court in accordance with
the provisions of article twenty-one of this Schedule.

(2) Where any compensation not exceeding the sum of one hundred
pounds is payable in respect of an interest which is subject to
any mortgage or charge (not being a charge consisting of an annuity
under the Land Purchase Acts, or a charge in respect of any sums
repayable in respect of a loan or advance made by any Government
department), the compensation may be paid to the person entitled to
the mortgage or charge, or, if there is more than one such
mortgage or charge, then to the person entitled to the mortgage or
charge which is first in priority, and the amount so paid shall be
received in reduction of the principal sum for the time being owing
in respect of the mortgage or charge, notwithstanding any direction,
proviso or covenant to the contrary contained in any instrument.
Where the compensation is paid to a mortgagee or chargeant, the
receipt given by the mortgagee or chargeant shall release the
compensation fund from all claims by him and any subsequent
mortgagee or chargeant, and also from all claims by the person
creating the mortgage or charge and all persons claiming through or
under that person.

(3) A memorandum of the amount paid under the last preceding
paragraph shall, when practicable, be endorsed on the instrument
creating the mortgage or charge, and shall be signed by the person
receiving the compensation, and a copy of the memorandum shall be
furnished by the local authority at their expense to all persons
appearing to the local authority to be entitled to any interest in
the land subject to the mortgage or charge.

20. Any person claiming to be entitled to any money paid to
another person pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Schedule
may, within six years after the payment has been made, on giving
such notice as may be required by rules of the Supreme Court,
apply for relief... to the High Court where the amount claimed
exceeds one thousand pounds, or to the county court within the
jurisdiction of which the land in respect of which the money has
been paid is situate, where the amount claimed does not exceed one
thousand pounds; and the court may either dismiss the application,
or give judgment or make a decree against the local authority for
the amount found due in respect of the claim, and in the latter
case the said amount shall be a debt due to the local authority
by the person to whom the money was paid by them, and arising at
the date of such judgment or decree.

21. If it appears to the local authority that any person claiming
an interest in the compensation fund is not absolutely entitled to
that interest, or is under any disability, or that his title is
not satisfactorily deduced, or if any such person refuses to produce
his title, or to accept the compensation as determined by [the
Lands Tribunal], or if no claim has been made to the compensation
within a year after it has been determined, then

(a)if the total amount of the compensation does not exceed one
thousand pounds the local authority shall pay the money into the
county court, and that court shall have with respect thereto all
the jurisdiction exerciseable by the High Court under the Lands
Clauses Acts;

(b)if the amount of the compensation exceeds one thousand pounds,
the amount payable by the local authority shall be paid, applied
and dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Lands
Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, with respect to the purchase money
or compensation coming to parties having limited interests, or
prevented from treating, or not making title, and those provisions
shall have effect accordingly.

[23. The local authority shall pay interest upon the compensation
money, from the date of vesting of the land in respect of which
the compensation is payable until the time of the payment of such
money and interest to the party entitled thereto, or, where such
compensation is paid into court, then until the sum with such
interest is paid into court accordingly. The rate of interest
payable under this Article shall be such rate as may from time to
time be determined by the Ministry of Finance.]

24. The payment of the compensation in the manner provided by
article twenty-one of this Schedule shall operate to discharge the
compensation fund from all claims and interests in respect of which
such compensation is payable.

25. For the purposes of article twenty-one of this Schedule, section
seventy-two of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, shall have
effect as if "one hundred pounds" were substituted therein for
"twenty pounds."

27. All notices required by this Schedule to be published shall be
published in a newspaper circulating within the area of the local
authority, and where no other form of service is prescribed a
notice required to be served upon any person may be served either
by delivering it or leaving it at the usual or last known place
of abode of the person on whom it is to be served, or by sending
it by post as a registered letter addressed to him at his usual
or last known place of abode, or, if that cannot be found, by
fixing it on some conspicuous part of the land. Any such notice or
document may be addressed, as the case may require, to the "owner,"
"occupier," or "lessee" of the land (describing it) without further
name or description.

28. In this Schedule

The expression "land" includes any such land or lands, easements,
rights, buildings or other properties as the local authority has
power to acquire under section ten of the Local Government (Ireland)
